Exegesis
The sentence opens with timios {τίμιος | tí-mi-os} in the nominative, fronted before the subject ὁ γάμος, producing an emphatic predicate construction: “honorable the marriage,” which is most naturally rendered with an implied copula as an instruction, “marriage should be honored.”
In context — Hebrews 13:4
Marriage should be honored among all, and the marriage bed kept undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
