This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
All Commentaries on Ephesians 5:32 Go To Ephesians 5
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
The apostle speaks of a great mystery in the relation of Christ and the church. That which is great in respect of Christ and the church may seem less auspicious in the relation between husbands and wives. But in marriage it still represents the mystery of an inseparable bond.
