Worldwide English (New Testament)
16 `The Law and the Prophets gave God's word until John came. Since then, the good news of God's kingdom has been told. And now everyone tries hard to get into the kingdom.
17 It would be easier to take away the sky and the earth than for the smallest part of the law to fall.'
18 `If a man sends away his wife and marries another woman, he commits adultery. And if the man marries a woman who has been sent away by her husband, he commits adultery.'
