Luke 16:18 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Anyone who divorces their spouse and marries someone else is cheating on their marriage commitment. And if you marry someone who was divorced, you're part of that broken promise too.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Marriage isn't something you can just swap out when it gets hard — it's meant to be a real commitment.
