The Inner Covenant Insight

Matthew 19:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 19 in context

Scripture Focus

9And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
Matthew 19:9

Biblical Context

Divorce and remarriage, except when the first spouse is unfaithful, are described as adultery. The verse also says that the person who marries a divorced person commits adultery.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the verse as a map of your inner state rather than a rule for external life. The word 'divorce' represents a decided separation within your consciousness, while 'fornication' signals the belief that you are incomplete and must seek a new image to feel whole. When you marry another in your inner life, you defend an identity built on lack rather than unity; thus 'adultery' becomes the name for clinging to a felt absence instead of dwelling in the fullness of your I AM. Neville teaches that the law you meet in Scripture is the law of your own mind: change the belief, and the outward scene must reflect the new inner covenant. If you insist on external arrangements to prove wholeness, you perpetuate the sense of separation; if you return to the one Source—the I AM—you discover that true covenant is inner, permanent, and already fulfilled. So, revise now: assume that you are already in the covenant of your own consciousness, and live from that assumption until the world reconfigures to the new reality.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and revise: 'I am one with the I AM; there is no separation in me.' Feel that unity as a present, living reality and let your relationships reflect that wholeness.
