In Matthew 19:6, the third-person aorist active indicative form occurs after the statement that the two are no longer two but one flesh; the APB renders the following clause, “what God has joined together, let no one separate.” Mark 10:9 presents the same completed divine action in the same prohibition.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Matthew 19:6 and Mark 10:9, the APB presents the clause as “what God has joined together, let no one separate.” This rendering confirms the clause’s overall presentation rather than isolating each Greek word.
