28 In the same way, husbands must love their wives as they love their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself.

29 For no one has ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and tenderly cares for it, as Christ does the church.

30 For we are parts of his body—of his flesh and of his bones.

31 "That is why a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh."

32 This is a great secret, but I am talking about Christ and the church.

33 But each individual man among you must love his wife as he loves himself; and may the wife fear her husband.
