Ephesians 5:30

Members. Gr. mele, “limbs,” or “parts [of the body]” (see on 1 Cor. 12:12; cf. Rom. 12:4, 5; Cor. 6:15; Eph. 4:25). There is an intimate union between Christ and His body.

Flesh, ... bones. Textual evidence favors (cf. p. 10) the omission of these last two phrases. The expression suggests the declaration of Gen. 2:23, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh,” the words in which Adam described the closeness of the relationship between himself and Eve. These words, if included, are figuratively employed. As the life that sustains the vine flows to the branches and becomes the source of their life (John 15:1-8), so the believer gathers all his spiritual life and graces from Christ. He can do nothing of himself, and he would perish spiritually — and eventually physically — if separated from his Lord.
