Ephesians
5:22-33
22
Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord,
23 For
the husband is the head of the wife
As
Christ is the head of the Church,
His
body, of which He is the savior.
24 Now
as the Church submits to Christ,
So
also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25
Husbands, love your wives,
Just
as Christ loved the Church
And
gave Himself up for her.
26 To
make her holy,
Cleansing
her by the washing with water through the Word,
27 And
to present her to Himself as a Radiant Church,
Without
stain or wrinkle or any other blemish,
But
holy and blameless.
28 In
this same way,
Husbands
ought to love their wives as their own bodies.
He who
loves his wife loves himself.
29
After all, no one ever hated his own body,
But he
feeds and cares for it,
Just
as Christ does the Church--
30 For
we are members of His Body.
31
'For this reason
A man
will leave his father and mother
And be
united to his wife,
AND
THE TWO WILL BECOME ONE FLESH.'
32
THIS IS A PROFOUND MYSTERY--
But I
am talking about Christ and the Church.
33
However, each one of you must love his wife
As he
loves himself,
And
the wife must Respect her husband.
(Ephesians
5:22-33)
