ἁρμόζω G0718
to betroth, espouse, join in engagement for marriage
This verb means to join or fit together, and specifically in the middle voice, to betroth or arrange a marriage engagement. Classical usage includes fitting together joints in carpentry, harmonizing musical notes, or arranging marriages. The middle voice emphasizes the subject arranging the betrothal for someone under their care. Paul employs it metaphorically, describing how he 'betrothed' the Corinthian church to Christ as a pure virgin, using the imagery of an ancient father arranging his daughter's marriage.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — To betroth, arrange a marriage engagement; metaphorically, to join believers to Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:2 declares Paul's jealousy for the Corinthians: 'I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.' Spanish 'desposé' (betrothed), French 'fiançailles' (betrothal/engagement), German 'verloben' (betroth), English 'I betrothed.' Paul casts himself as the father who arranged the marriage, the Corinthians as the virgin bride, and Christ as the bridegroom. The betrothal is complete but the marriage (eschaton) awaits, and Paul guards against anything that would defile the bride's purity before presentation to her husband. 1×
