Robertson Word Pictures - Ephesians 5:31 - 5:31


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

For this cause (anti toutou). “Answering to this” = heneken toutou of Gen 2:24, in the sense of anti seen in anth' hōn (Luk 12:3). This whole verse is a practical quotation and application of the language to Paul’s argument here. In Mat 19:5 Jesus quotes Gen 2:24. It seems absurd to make Paul mean Christ here by anthrōpos (man) as some commentators do.
