“This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.”
“This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church. ”
“This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.”
“This mystery is great– but I am actually speaking with reference to Christ and the church.”
“This is a great sacrament: but I speak in Christ and in the church.”
“This is a great secret: but my words are about Christ and the church.”
“This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.”
For no man has ever hated his own flesh, but instead he nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ also does to the Church.
For we are a part of his body, of his flesh and of his bones.
“For this reason, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife; and the two shall be as one flesh.”
This is a great Sacrament. And I am speaking in Christ and in the Church.
Yet truly, each and every one of you should love his wife as himself. And a wife should fear her husband.
