31for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be — the two — for one flesh;'


In Context

28 so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife — himself he doth love;

29 for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord — the assembly,

30 because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones;

31 for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be — the two — for one flesh;'

32 this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly;

33 but ye also, every one in particular — let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife — that she may reverence the husband.
