covenant.

Eze 16:62 And I will establish my covenant with thee: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord,
Eze 16:63 That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and mayest no more open thy mouth because of thy confusion, when I
shall be pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord God."

cause?
Mat 19:4 Who answering, said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made man from the beginning, made them male and female?
And he said:
Mat 19:5 For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one
flesh.

Mat 19:7 They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away?

Mat 19:9 And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.
Mat 19:10 His disciples say unto him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to marry.

and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it."
Matthew 19:3-12
