25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it,
26 that he might make it holy, cleansing it by the washing with water according to his word,
27 that he might present to himself the church glorious, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but holy and faultless.
28 Thus ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself,
29 for no one ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church,
