25 Husbands, love your own wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,
26 in order that He might sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing of water by the word,
27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and blameless.
28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he that loves his own wife loves himself.
29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as also the Lord does the church.
30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.
