28 So too married men ought to love their wives as much as they love themselves. He who loves his wife loves himself.
29 For never yet has a man hated his own body. On the contrary he feeds and cherishes it, just as Christ feeds and cherishes the Church;
30 because we are, as it were, parts of His Body.
31 »For this reason a man is to leave his father and his mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall be as one.«
32 That is a great truth hitherto kept secret: I mean the truth concerning Christ and the Church.
33 Yet I insist that among you also, each man is to love his own wife as much as he loves himself, and let a married woman see to it that she treats her husband with respect.
