WHEN WE SEE THE PATTERNS IN PAUL’S USE OF THE PROPHETIC RHETORICAL TEMPLATE, WE THEN SEE PAUL WAS TALKING ABOUT UNITY IN THE JOINT-BODY WITH CHRIST. And we see Paul's teaching on Christian spouses discipling one another! Did Paul really have that many PATTERNS in the passage from Ephesians 5:22-6:9? Oh yes! Those who have missed these patterns act like the blind men who had a hard time describing an elephant. The blind men saw the parts: a wall, a tree trunk, etc. But they missed the living breathing mighty animal.
We and He are ONE! This is the teaching in the key verse of Ephesians 5:32.
