1 Corinthians Chapter 6, Verse 16
From BibleWiki
16: η ουκ οιδατε οτι ο κολλωμενος τη πορνη εν σωμα εστιν εσονται γαρ φησιν οι δυο εις σαρκα μιαν
16: What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one
body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
16: Or know you not that he who is joined to a harlot is made one
body? For they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh.
Know ye not, etc. This is designed to confirm and strengthen what he had just said.
He which is joined. Who is attached to; or who is connected with.
Is one body. That is, is to be regarded as one; is closely and intimately united. Similar expressions occur in classic writers. See Grotius and Bloomfield.
For two, saith he, etc. This Paul illustrates by a reference to the formation of the marriage connexion in Gen 2:24. He cannot be understood as affirming that that passage had original reference to illicit connexions; but he uses it for purposes of illustration. God had declared that the man and his wife became one; in a similar sense, in unlawful connexions the parties became one.
