Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Mark 10:8
And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
And the twain shall be one flesh,…. This is the remaining part of the citation out of Ge 2:24;
[See comments on Mt 19:5];
so then they are no more twain; but one flesh; as Adam and Eve were both by creation and marriage: and so two persons, a man and woman, being lawfully married together, become one flesh, or “one body”, as the Arabic and Persic versions render the phrase; and therefore the wife is to be loved by the husband as his own body, and from whom there should be no separation, until death, but in case of adultery;
[See comments on Mt 19:6].

Shall be one flesh [ ] . Lit., “shall be unto one flesh.” The preposition expresses more graphically than the A. V. the becoming of one from two. So Rev., shall become.

1) “And they twain shall be one flesh (kai esontai hoi duo eis sarka main) “And the two (male and female) shall be (exist as) one flesh,” in a marital family unit, as God first directed, Gen 2:23; 1Co 6:16.
2) “So then they are no more twain, but one flesh.” (hoste oukett eisin duo alla mia sarks) “So as (this is the Divine order) they are (exist as) no longer two, but as one flesh.” This is our Lord’s comment on the marriage, as they follow God’s first order, Eph 5:28-32.

twain = two, Anglo-Saxon twegen (= twain) is masculine, trd is feminine, and twa, or tu, is neut. So that “twain “is better, as the masculine takes precedence of feminine.
one = for, or unto. Greek. eis. App-104. Not “become one” (as Revised Version)
but = shall be, or stand for one flesh.
no more = no longer. Greek. ouketi. Compound of ou. App-105.

The result of that cleaving was to be that the two bodies would become one in the flesh. Not only would they be one flesh at the time of the union, but it was to be permanent, for it says they would be no more twain, but one flesh.
