22 Wives, be subject 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 himself the Savior.
24 As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject to their husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
27 that he might present the church to himself in all her glory, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and blameless.
28 So husbands ought also to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church,
30 because we are members of his body.
31 »For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.«
32 This is a profound mystery; but I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.
33 However, each one of you must also love his wife as himself, and the wife must see that she respects her husband.
