All Christian men and women supernaturally have the positional unity Jesus prayed for in John seventeen. If they are husband and wife, they are also united by God into “one flesh” (Genesis 2:24). The Hebrew word for “one” is echad which means “one, alike, altogether, or all at once.” The very same word is used in Deuteronomy 6:4 for “the Lord is one.” In other words, somehow God makes the husband and wife into “one” as the Trinity is one, a compound unity.

13:1 ¶ I taua ra ka tuwhera he puna mo te whare o Rawiri, mo nga tangata ano o Hiruharama, hei mea mo te hara, mo te poke.

13:2 I taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ka hatepea atu e ahau nga ingoa o nga whakapakoko i runga i te whenua; e kore ano e maharatia a muri ake nei; ka kore ano i ahau nga poropiti, me te wairua poke, i runga i te whenua.

13:3 Na, tenei ake, ki te poropiti tetahi a muri ake nei, ka mea tona papa ki a ia, raua ko tona whaea i whanau ai ia, E kore koe e ora; kua korero teka hoki koe i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa: na ka werohia ia e tona papa raua ko tona whaea i whanau ai i a, ina poropiti ia.

13:4 I taua ra ka whakama nga poropiti, tenei, tenei, ki tana kite, i te mea ka poropiti ia; e kore ano e kakahuria e ratou he kakahu huruhuru hei mea tinihanga.

13:5 Engari ka mea ia, Ehara ahau i te poropiti, he paruauru ahau, he pononga hoki ahau no toku taitamarikitanga ake.

13:6 A ka mea tetahi ki a ia, He aha enei patunga i ou ringa? a ka mea ia, Ko oku patunga i roto i te whare o oku hoa aroha.

13:7 ¶ E ara, e te hoari, ki taku hepara, ki te tangata i takahoatia ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano; patua te hepara, kia marara hoki nga hipi; ka tahuri atu ano toku ringa ki nga mea ririki.

13:8 Na i te whenua katoa, e ai ta Ihowa, e rua nga wahi o reira ka hatepea atu, ka mate; ka toe ia te tuatoru o nga wahi ki reira.

13:9 Ka kawea ano e ahau te tuatoru o nga wahi i roto i te ahi, ka tahia hoki te para, ka peratia me te hiriwa e tahia ana, ka whakamatautauria ano ratou e ahau, ka peratia me te koura; ka karanga ratou ki toku ingoa, a ka whakarongo ahau ki a ratou: ka mea ahau, He iwi ratou naku; a ka mea ratou, Ko Ihowa toku Atua.
