5 “And said, ‘For this wull a man leaʼ his faither and his mither, and be joined to his wife, and they twa sal be ae flesh!’
“Sae that they are nae mair twa, but ae flesh. And sae what God has joined thegither, lat‐na man pit sindry!”
Love withoot hypocrisy, scunnerin at aʼ that is evil; haudin fast to aʼ that is gude.
Or ken‐ye‐na that he that joins his sel to a harlot is ae body? (“For,” says he, “the twa sal be ae flesh.”)
Yet, because oʼ uncleanness, lat ilk man hae his ain wife, and ilk wumman her ain man.
The wife hasna authoritie ower her ain body, but the husband; and in siclike mainner the husband hasna authoritie ower his ain body, but the wife.
“For sae sal a man leaʼ his faither and mither, and be ane wiʼ his wife; and the twa sal become ae flesh.”
