TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Matthew 19:5
Memorize this Verse:
5. A S F T C S A M L F A M A S C T H W A T T S B O F
Notes on verse:
“For this cause”: Being created for this very purpose; that they might glorify their Maker in a matrimonial connection. A man shall leave both father and mother, the matrimonial union being more intimate and binding than even paternal or filial affection.
And they shall be closely united as though he shall be firmly cemented to his wife. A beautiful metaphor, which most forcibly intimates that nothing but death can separate them: as a well-glued board will break sooner in the whole wood, than in the glued joint.
“And they twain shall be one flesh?” Not only meaning that they should be considered as one body, but also as two souls in one body, with a complete union of interests, and an indissoluble partnership of life and fortune, comfort and support, desires and inclinations, joys and sorrows.
