This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Eph 5:31. Καταλείψει, shall leave) Eph 5:30 presupposes a Protasis, viz. in regard to natural marriage, [to be supplied] out of Moses; it expresses the Apodosis, viz. respecting the spiritual marriage; now, in turn, vice versa, Eph 5:31 here expresses the Protasis, and allows the Apodosis to be supplied: comp. Eph 5:32, in the middle. Christ also, so to speak, left the Father, and was joined to the Church.-προσκολληθήσεται, shall be joined) by matrimonial unity.-εἰς σάρκα μίαν, shall pass into [shall be as] one flesh) not only as formerly, in respect of origin, but in respect of the new relationship.
