***

Romans 1

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Matthew 5   Jesus says:

32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
