This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Eph 5:29. Οὐδεὶς) no man, unless indeed he revolts from nature and from himself.-τὴν ἑαυτοῦ σάρκα, his own flesh) Eph 5:31, at the end.-ἐκτρέφει) very much nourishes it, within.-θάλπει) cherishes it, without. The same word occurs in Deu 22:6; Job 39:14; 1Ki 1:2; 1Ki 1:4. This has respect to clothing, as nourishes has to food.-τὴν ἐκκλησίαν, the Church) Nourishes and cherishes to be supplied.
