Thematic Bible: Husbands and wives becoming one


Thematic Bible



Do you not know that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and unite them with (turn them into) the members of a prostitute? God forbid! What? Do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one (united with her) body? For he said: Two will be one flesh.


He answered: Have you not read, that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female? For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife. The two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What God has joined together, let no man pull apart (separate)!

God made male and female from the beginning of creation. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and unite with his wife. The two shall become one flesh. They are no longer two, but one flesh. read more.
That which God has joined together let not man take apart (separate).

In this way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his own wife loves himself. No man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ also does the congregation. And we are members of his body! read more.
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother, and will stick (adhere) (cleave) (be joined) to his wife. The two will become one flesh.
