This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 19:6. οὐκ ἔτι εἰσὶ, they are no more) They are now no longer two, as they were before.-δύο, two) We should not understand σάρκες, fleshes (carnes): for in Mat 19:5 we find οἱ δύο (the two, they twain).-ὃ, that which (quod), not ἅ, those which (quae): for they are now one flesh.-συνέζευεξεν, hath joined together) hath made one.-ἄνθρωπος, man) see Mat 19:3.-μὴ, κ.τ.λ., let not, etc.) The principle here involved admits of a widely extended application: what GOD hath separated, commanded, conceded, prohibited, blessed, praised, loosed, bound, etc., let not Man join together, prohibit, forbid, command, curse, blame, bind, loose, etc., not even in his own case; see Act 10:15; Num 23:8; Rom 14:3; Rom 14:20.-χωριζέτω, put asunder) In every case of sexual connection, either God hath joined the two, or He hath not joined them: if He hath not joined them, their connection is unlawful; if He hath joined them, why are they separated?
