This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
15. ἐκ τοῦ σώματος. ἐκ has either here (1) the ordinary meaning of proceeding from, or (2) it has the more unusual sense of belonging to. See Winer, Gr. Gram. § 47. Donaldson, Gr. Gram. p. 507, cites in favour of (2) Soph. Trach. 734 ἐκ τριῶν ἕν ἂν εἱλόμην (where ἐκ has the sense of a part of). Jelf, Gr. Gram. § 621, cites Luk 2:4; Act 10:45; Rom 4:16.

οὐ παρὰ τοῦτο. It is not for this reason not of the body. The best Editors do not punctuate this as a question. We have here an instance of a double negative, one portion of which corrects the other. See Act 4:20.
