22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the congregation, he being the savior of the body.
24 The congregation is subject to Christ. Likewise let the wives also be to their husbands in everything.
25 Husbands love your wives, even as Christ also loved the congregation and gave himself up for it.
26 This is so he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word.
27 So he will be able to present the congregation to himself as a glorious congregation, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing. It should be holy and without blemish.
28 In this way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his own wife loves himself.
29 No man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ also does the congregation.
30 And we are members of his body!
31 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother, and will stick adherecleavebe joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh.
32 This secret is great! I speak with regard to Christ and of the congregation.
33 Each one of you should love his own wife even as himself. The wife should respect her husband.
