Divorce, Justice and Punishment

This chapter is loaded with important information. From Divorce, mercy to the poor and needy to crime and punishment and criminal justice, it's touched on here.

Jesus quotes the first part of the chapter about Moses and whether divorce was allowed. The passage doesn't approve or grant the right of divorce, but rather protects the woman in such circumstances.

Law and punishment rely on God's revealed will. All are subject to justice because God is the One who will hold all accountable.

We consider:

1. Protection in Marriage and Divorce
2. Protection in Poverty, Sickness and Debt
3. Protection for Poor and Needy
4. Punishment of Offenders
