Thematic Bible: Husbands and wives becoming one


Thematic Bible



Do you not know that your bodies are parts of Christ's body? Am I then to take away from Christ parts of his body, and make them parts of a prostitute's? Never! Or do you not know that a man who has to do with a prostitute makes one body with her? For "The two," says the Scripture, "shall become physically one."


But he answered, "Did you never read that the Creator at the beginning made them male and female, and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two of them shall become one'? So they are no longer two but one. Therefore, what God has joined together, man must not try to separate."

But from the beginning of the creation, 'God made them male and female. Therefore a man must leave his father and mother, and he and his wife must become one,' and so they are no longer two but one. read more.
Therefore what God has joined together man must not try to separate."

That is the way husbands ought to love their wives??s if they were their own bodies; a man who loves his wife is really loving himself, for no one ever hates his own person, but he feeds it and takes care of it, just as Christ does with the church, for we are parts of his body. read more.
Therefore a man must leave his father and mother and attach himself to his wife, and they must become one.
