25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify it (having cleansed it by the washing of water) through the word:
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, that it may be holy and unblamable.
28 Men ought so to love their wives as their own bodies: he that loveth his wife, loveth himself.
29 Now no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also the Lord the church.
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
