Mk 10:8b ... "so that no longer are they two but one flesh."

The third phrase has these 7 dialog words, ... hōste ouketi eisin duo alla mia sarks (so that no longer are they two but one flesh).

The 7 dialog words are top down. The verb eisin (they are) is now in the present tense. Therefore the man and woman share the same flesh. Amazingly, the last two words of this verse fall on their "mia sarks" (one flesh). However, if Mark, the Greek Gospel author, was the same artist who drew this diagram, composing the correct word order and tense would be childs play.
