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.
