¹ In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

⁴ He answered, "Haven't you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,

⁵ and said, 'For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?'

⁶ So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don't let man tear apart."
