Ephesians 5:31 - Compare All Versions

No one abuses his own body, does he? No, he feeds and pampers it. That’s how Christ treats us, the church, since we are part of his body. And this is why a man leaves father and mother and cherishes his wife. No longer two, they become “one flesh.” This is a huge mystery, and I don’t pretend to understand it all. What is clearest to me is the way Christ treats the church. And this provides a good picture of how each husband is to treat his wife, loving himself in loving her, and how each wife is to honor her husband.

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.

The Scripture says, “So a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will become one body.”

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.

“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”

“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”

FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND HIS MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED [and be faithfully devoted] TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH. [Gen 2:24]

As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.”

For this reason a man is to leave his father and his mother and lovingly hold to his wife, since the two have become joined as one flesh.

“Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”
