Please read them, but in context.
For instance, read Mt. 19:1-12. If you are trying to determine what Christ meant when he says in the NIV, "marital unfaithfulness", then change the translation to the King James for the same verses. You will find that marital unfaithfulness means adultery (which it does, but is less ambiguous).
The English Standard Version says "sexual immorality". Again, they all mean the same but some are more literal translations.

But the adultry mentioned there is AFTER a previous divorce. There's no listing of reasons for a divorce, it's only discussing what happens AFTER.
Though 12 is interesting:
"Some are incapable of marriage because they were born so; some, because they were made so by others; some, because they have renounced marriage for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Whoever can accept this ought to accept it."
Because that was exactly the point I was making, some folks shouldn't be married, but unfortunately some folks don't figure out they shouldn't be married until after they get married.
