Now lets get started. Passage Number 1.
The first verse on the subject of Divorce is Matthew chapter 19, verses 1 through 9. It says:
When Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee and came into the borders of Judea
beyond the Jordan. Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there. Pharisees came to him,
testing him and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
He answered, “Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to
his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?’ So that they are no more two, but one flesh.
What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.” They asked him,
“Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce and divorce her?”
He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives,
but from the beginning it has not been so. I tell you that whoever divorces his wife,
except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries
her when she is divorced commits adultery.” Passage Number 2. The second verse in our
study of Divorce is found in Matthew chapter 5, verses 27 through 30. It says:
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery;’ but I tell you that everyone
who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you.
For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish than for your whole
body to be cast into Gehenna. If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and
throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish,
than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna. Passage Number 3. For our third verse,
we turn in our Bible to First Corinthians chapter 7, verses 10 through 17. It reads:
But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband (but
if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband),
and that the husband not leave his wife. But to the rest I—not the Lord—say, if any brother has
an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her. The woman who has
an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband. For the
unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband.
Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. Yet if the unbeliever departs,
let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases,
but God has called us in peace. For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband?
Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife? Only, as the Lord has distributed
to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies.
Passage Number 4. This is from Malachi chapter 2, verses 11 through 16. The scripture says:
Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem;
for Judah has profaned the holiness of Yahweh which he loves, and has married the daughter of
a foreign god. Yahweh will cut off the man who does this, him who wakes and him who answers,
out of the tents of Jacob and him who offers an offering to Yahweh of Armies.
“This again you do: you cover Yahweh’s altar with tears, with weeping, and with sighing,
because he doesn’t regard the offering any more, neither receives it with good will at your hand.
Yet you say, ‘Why?’ Because Yahweh has been witness between you and the wife of your youth,
against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion and the wife
of your covenant. Did he not make you one, although he had the residue of the Spirit?
Why one? He sought godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit,
and let no one deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. One who hates and divorces”,
says Yahweh, the God of Israel, “covers his garment with violence!” says Yahweh of Armies.
“Therefore pay attention to your spirit, that you don’t be unfaithful.
Passage Number 5. The fifth verse is from Mark chapter 10, verses 2 through 12. The Bible says:
Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”
He answered, “What did Moses command you?” They said, “Moses allowed a certificate of divorce
to be written, and to divorce her.” But Jesus said to them, “For your hardness of heart, he
wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female.
For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife, and the two
will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined
together, let no man separate.” In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter.
He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
If a woman herself divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”

Passage Number 6 is from Luke chapter 16, verse 18. It says:
“Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery.
He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
Passage Number 7. The seventh verse is found in Genesis chapter 2,
verses 21 through 24. The Bible says: Yahweh God caused the man to fall into
a deep sleep. As the man slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
Yahweh God made a woman from the rib which he had taken from the man, and brought her to the
man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called ‘woman,’
because she was taken out of Man.” Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will
join with his wife, and they will be one flesh. Passage Number 8. The eighth verse on the subject
of Divorce is from Jeremiah chapter 3, verses 6 through 8. It reads:
Moreover, Yahweh said to me in the days of Josiah the king, “Have you seen that which backsliding
Israel has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and has
played the prostitute there. I said after she had done all these things, ‘She will return to me;’
but she didn’t return, and her treacherous sister Judah saw it. I saw when, for this very cause,
that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of
divorce, yet treacherous Judah, her sister, had no fear, but she also went and played the prostitute.
Passage Number 9. Our ninth verse is from Deuteronomy chapter 22,
verses 18 through 24. The passage states: The elders of that city shall take the man
and chastise him. They shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver, and give them
to the father of the young lady, because he has given a bad name to a virgin of Israel.
She shall be his wife. He may not put her away all his days. But if this thing is true, that the
tokens of virginity were not found in the young lady, then they shall bring out the young lady to
the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones,
because she has done folly in Israel, to play the prostitute in her father’s house.
So you shall remove the evil from among you. If a man is found lying with a woman married
to a husband, then they shall both die, the man who lay with the woman and the woman.
So you shall remove the evil from Israel. If there is a young lady who is a virgin pledged
to be married to a husband, and a man finds her in the city, and lies with her, then you shall bring
them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones; the lady,
because she didn’t cry, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor’s wife.
So you shall remove the evil from among you. Passage Number 10. Our tenth and final verse
on the subject of Divorce is from Romans chapter 7, verses 1 through 3. It says:
Or don’t you know, brothers (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law has dominion
over a man for as long as he lives? For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband
while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.
So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called
an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress,
though she is joined to another man. This concludes our Bible study on the topic of Divorce.
