Ephesians 5:30
_ _ For Greek, “Because” (1 Corinthians 6:15). Christ nourisheth and cherisheth the Church as being of one flesh with Him. Translate, “Because we are members of His body (His literal body), being OF His flesh and of His bones” [Alford] (Genesis 2:23, Genesis 2:24). The Greek expresses, “Being formed out of” or “of the substance of His flesh.” Adam’s deep sleep, wherein Eve was formed from out of his opened side, is an emblem of Christ’s death, which was the birth of the Spouse, the Church. John 12:24; John 19:34, John 19:35, to which Ephesians 5:25-27 allude, as implying atonement by His blood, and sanctification by the “water,” answering to that which flowed from His side (compare also John 7:38, John 7:39; 1 Corinthians 6:11). As Adam gave Eve a new name, Hebrew, “Isha,” “woman,” formed from his own rib, Ish, “man,” signifying her formation from him, so Christ, Revelation 2:17; Revelation 3:12. Genesis 2:21, Genesis 2:23, Genesis 2:24 puts the bones first because the reference there is to the natural structure. But Paul is referring to the flesh of Christ. It is not our bones and flesh, but “we” that are spiritually propagated (in our soul and spirit now, and in the body hereafter, regenerated) from the manhood of Christ which has flesh and bones. We are members of His glorified body (John 6:53). The two oldest existing manuscripts, and Coptic or Memphitic version, omit “of His flesh and of His bones”; the words may have crept into the text through the Margin from Genesis 2:23, Septuagint. However, Irenaeus, 294, and the old Latin and Vulgate versions, with some good old manuscripts, have them. |
Ephesians 5:30
For we The reason why Christ nourishes and cherishes the church is, that close connexion between them which is here expressed in the words of Moses, originally spoken concerning Eve. Are members Are as intimately united to Christ, in a spiritual sense, as if we were literally "flesh of his flesh, and bone of his bone." |
Ephesians 5:30
For we are members of his body, (q) of his flesh, and of his bones.
(q) He alludes to the making of the woman, which signifies our union with Christ, which is accomplished by faith, but is signified in the ordinance of the Lord's supper. |
Ephesians 1:23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. Genesis 2:23 And Adam said, This [ is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Romans 12:5 So we, [ being] many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. 1 Corinthians 6:15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make [ them] the members of an harlot? God forbid. 1 Corinthians 12:12- 27 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also [ is] Christ. ... Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. Colossians 2:19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
