UMthetho kaMose wawuthi indoda efuna ukudivosa nomkayo kwakumelwe ibhale incwadi engokomthetho. Lokhu kwakusiza ekugwemeni ukujaha ukudivosa. Nokho, ngosuku lukaJesu abaholi benkolo babekwenza kube lula ukuba umuntu adivose nashade naye. Amadoda ayengadivosa nomkawo nanganoma yisiphi isizathu. (iphuzu lokucwaninga elithi “kwencwadi yokumxosha” elikuMar 10:4, kuyi-nwtsty-E; amaphuzu okucwaninga: “ohlukanisa nomkakhe,” “uyaphinga,” akuMar 10:11, kuyi-nwtsty-E) UJesu wachaza ukuthi umshado wasungulwa futhi wagunyazwa uJehova. (Mr 10:2-12) Indoda nomkayo kufanele babe “nyamanye,” babe nesibopho esihlala njalo. Ukulandisa okufanayo okukuMathewu kubonisa ukuthi ‘ubufebe’ buwukuphela kwesizathu esingokomBhalo sokudivosa.—Math 19:9.
