OET (OET-LV) because we_are members of_the body of_him.

OET (OET-RV) and we are parts of his body.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:21–33: Paul gave advice to husbands and their wives

In 4:17–5:20, Paul taught the Ephesian Christians to behave differently than pagans (people who do not know God). For the next three sections, Paul taught about how Christians should behave in their relationships in their families and at work. In this first section, he dealt with the duties of wives and husbands. He described the marriage relationship as a picture of the relationship between Christ and the church.

Here are some other examples for a heading for this section:

Paul’s advise to wives and husbands (GW)

How a wife and a husband should live together

Paragraph 5:25–33

In the previous paragraph Paul talked about the duties that a wife has toward her husband. In this paragraph, Paul discusses the duties a husband has toward his wife.

5:30

For we are members of His body.

For: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as For gives the reason why Christ cares for the church. He cares for the church because we are part of his body.

we are members of His body: The phrase we are members of His body is a metaphor. It means that we are united with other believers in the church.

Here are some ways to translate this phrase:

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὅτι

because

The connecting word because introduces the reason of a reason-result relationship. The reason is that the church is Christ’s body. The result is that Christ cares for the church. Use a phrase in your language that connects a reason to a result. Alternate translation: [since]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μέλη ἐσμὲν τοῦ σώματος αὐτοῦ

members (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅτι μέλη ἐσμέν τοῦ σώματος αὐτοῦ)

Paul speaks of the close union of believers with Christ as if they were part of his own body, for which he would naturally care.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

5:22-33 Christian wives are to submit to their husbands, showing them respect. Equally important, Christian husbands are to love their wives (see Col 3:18-19). Christian marriages become a reflection of the union and relationship between the Lord and the church.
