14 ^xBut you say, “Why does he not?” Because the Lord ^ywas witness between you and the wife of your youth, ^zto whom ^tyou have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant. 15 ^aDid he not make them one, with a portion of the Spirit in their union?¹ And what was the one God² seeking?^{3 b}Godly offspring. So guard yourselves⁴ in your spirit, and let none of you be ^tfaithless to the wife of your youth.
