Exegesis
The conditional protasis is introduced by ei {Εἰ | Eí}, followed by the copular clause houtōs estin {οὕτως ἐστὶν | hoú-tōs és-tin}, literally “thus it is,” summarizing Jesus’ strict teaching on marriage and divorce.
In context — Matthew 19:10
The disciples said to Him , “If this is the case of the man with the woman, it is not beneficial to marry.”
