Bible Read Ephesians 5

Ephesians 5:31

World English Bible (WEB)

“For this cause a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife. Then the two will become one flesh.”

In context

29 For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly,

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

31 “For this cause a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife. Then the two will become one flesh.”

32 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and the assembly.

33 Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
