For this cause, &c. ] See Trapp on " Mat 19:5 " See Trapp on " Gen 2:24 " Shall be one flesh ] By virtue of that covenant of God between married couples,Proverbs 2:17; Proverbs 2:17 , for he keepeth the bonds of wedlock. read more
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Ver. 32. This is a great mystery ] To wit, this mystical marriage with Christ. It passeth the capacity of man to understand it in the perfection of it. Preachers can make it known but in part, and hearers can but in part conceive it. Let us therefore wait for perfect understanding of it, till all things be perfected in Christ. read more
