“For, as it is said, the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her. Sexual immorality joins them together as one, just as in nature, two become one. As it is written, 'They shall become one flesh' (Genesis 2:24). It is clear that because the woman is from the man, both are one flesh.”
Ambrosiaster, 4th c. — Commentary on 1 Corinthians
Original
16What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

In context
14And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
15Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
— 1 Corinthians 6:16 —
17But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
