- and they shall be one flesh:
- The LXX, Vulgate, Syriac, Arabic, and Samaritan read, "they two;" as is also read in several of the Parallel Passages. "Yet ye say,ª° Wherefore?ª¹ Because¹¹ the LORDª hath been witnessª° between¹ thee and the wifeª of thy youth,ª against whom¹ thou¹ hast dealt treacherously:ª° yet [is] she¹ thy companion,ª and the wifeª of thy covenant.ª ... For¹ the LORD,ª the Godª of Israel,ª saithª° that he hatethª° putting away:ª° for [one] coverethª° violenceª with¹ his garment,ª saithª° the LORDª of hosts:ª therefore take heedª° to your spirit,ª that ye deal not treacherously.ª°¹" {Mal 2:14-16} + "The¹ Phariseesª alsoª cameª° unto him,ª temptingª° him,ª andª sayingª° unto him,ª¹ Is it lawfulª²° for a manª to put awayª° his²¹ wifeª forª everyª cause?ª ... Andª I sayª° unto you,ª² Whosoeverªª shall put awayª° his²¹ wife,ª exceptª [it be] forª fornication,ª andª shall marryª° another,ª committeth adultery:ª° andª whoso marriethª° her which² is put awayª° doth commit adultery.ª°" {Mtt 19:3-9} + "Butª fromª the beginningª of the creationª Godª madeª° themª maleª andª female.ª ... Andª ifª a womanª shall put awayª° her²¹ husband,ª andª be marriedª° to another,ª she committeth adultery.ª°" {Mrk 10:6-12} + "Forª the¹ womanª which hath an husbandª is boundª° by the lawª to [her] husbandª so long as he liveth;ª° butª ifª the¹ husbandª be dead,ª° she is loosedª° fromª the¹ lawª of [her] husband.ª" {Rom 7:2} + "What?ª know¹ ye²° notª thatª he which is joinedª° to an harlotª isª° oneª body?ª forª two,ª saith¹ he,²° shall beª° oneª² flesh.ª ... Butª he that is joinedª° unto the¹ Lordª isª° oneª spirit.ª" {1Co 6:16-17} + "Nevertheless,ª² [to avoid]¹ fornication,ª let²° every manª haveª° his ownª wife,ª andª let²° every womanª haveª° her ownª husband.ª ... The¹ wifeª hath²° not² powerª°¹ of her ownª body,ª butª the¹ husband:ª andª likewiseª alsoª the¹ husbandª hath²° not² powerª°¹ of his ownª body,ª butª the¹ wife.ª" {1Co 7:2-4} + "Andª unto the¹ marriedª° I command,ª° [yet] notª I,ª butª the¹ Lord,ª Let²° notª the wifeª departª° fromª [her] husband:ª" {1Co 7:10} + "Butª andª ifª she depart,ª° let her remainª° unmarried,ª orª be reconciledª° to [her] husband:ª andª let²° notª the husbandª put awayª° [his] wife.ª" {1Co 7:11} + "Soª oughtª° menª to loveª° theirª wivesª asª their ownª bodies.ª He that lovethª° hisª wifeª lovethª° himself.ª ... For² this causeª¹ shall²° a manª leaveª° his²¹ fatherª andª mother,ª andª shall be joinedª° untoª his²¹ wife,ª andª they twoª shall beª° oneª² flesh.ª" {Eph 5:28-31} + "I willª° thereforeª that the younger womenª marry,ª° bear children,ª° guide the house,ª° giveª° noneª occasionª to the¹ adversaryª° to² speak reproachfully.ª¹" {1Tm 5:14} + "Likewise,ª ye wives,ª [be] in subjectionª° to your ownª husbands;ª that,ª if anyª obey notª° the¹ word,ª they²° alsoª may²° withoutª the wordª be wonª° byª the¹ conversationª of the¹ wives;ª ... Likewise,ª ye husbands,ª dwell withª° [them] according¹ to² knowledge,ª givingª° honourª unto the¹ wife,ª asª unto the weakerª vessel,ª andª asª being heirs togetherª of the graceª of life;ª that² yourª prayersª be²° notª hindered.ª°" {1Pe 3:1-7}
