Study Lenses

The verse centers on "shall", "be--the", "two--for", and "flesh". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "shall" and "be--the", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 7's "on this account shall a man leave..." into verse 9's "what therefore God did join together let...", so "shall" and "be--the" belong inside that flow. In Mark context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "shall" and "be--the" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
