Tertullian Against Marcion Book IV -for this reason, indeed, because He who had "made them male and female" had likewise said, "They twain shall become one flesh; what therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."[1326] Origen de Principiis Book III Our Lord and Saviour, indeed, in the words, "He who made them at the beginning, made them male and female,"[377] Methodius From the Discourse on the Resurrection And Christ confirms the taking of these things as they are written, when, to the question of the Pharisees about putting away a wife, He answers: "Have ye not read that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female; and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father,"[8] Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book VI and the Lord says: "He that made them from the beginning, made them male and female; and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they two shall be one flesh."[73] "For He that made them at the beginning made them male and female; and He blessed them, and said, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth."[159]
