Exegesis
The verbal complex ouketi eisin duo alla sarx mia {οὐκέτι εἰσὶν δύο ἀλλὰ σὰρξ μία | ou-ké-ti eí-sin dý-o allà sárx mía} first negates the prior state of being “two” and then affirms the new reality of “one flesh,” using a predicate nominative structure to express a profound relational and covenantal unity.
In context — Matthew 19:6
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate .
