Scriptures on Divorce from the Word of God.

 

Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (NIV)
¹ If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house,
² and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man,
³ and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies,
⁴ then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the LORD. Do not bring sin upon the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.

Matthew 5:31-32 (NIV)
³¹ "It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.'
³² But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

 

Scriptures on Divorce

Matthew 19:3-12 (NIV)
³ Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?"
⁴ "Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,'
⁵ and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?
⁶ So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
⁷ "Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?"
⁸ Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.
⁹ I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."
¹⁰ The disciples said to him, "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry."
¹¹ Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given.
¹² For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."

 

Scriptures on Divorce

Mark 10:2-12 (NIV)
² Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"
³ "What did Moses command you?" he replied.
⁴ They said, "Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away."
⁵ "It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law," Jesus replied.
⁶ "But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female.'
⁷ 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
⁸ and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one.
⁹ Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
¹⁰ When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this.
¹¹ He answered, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.
¹² And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."

 

Scriptures on Divorce

Luke 16:18 (NIV)
¹⁸ "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

John 4:17-18 (NIV)

¹⁸ The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true."

 

Scriptures on Divorce

John 4:39-42 (NIV)
³⁹ Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me everything I ever did."
⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days.
⁴¹ And because of his words many more became believers.
⁴² They said to the woman, "We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world."

 

Scriptures on Divorce

Romans 7:2-3 (NIV)
² For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.
³ So then, if she marries another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress, even though she marries another man.

 

Scriptures on Divorce

1 Corinthians 7:10-15 (NIV)
¹⁰ To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.
¹¹ But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
¹² To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.
¹³ And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.
¹⁴ For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
¹⁵ But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.
