22 Wives, submit to your own husbands as to the Lord.

23 Because a husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church, and himself the savior of the body.

24 But as the church is subject to the Christ, so also the wives to their own husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your own wives even as Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it,

26 so that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it with the washing of water by the word,

27 so that he might present it to himself, the glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and unblemished.

28 So ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

29 For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as also Christ the church,

30 because we are parts of his body, of his flesh and of his bones.

31 Separate from this a man will leave his father and mother behind, and will be bonded with his wife, and the two will be in one flesh.

32 This mystery is great, but I speak for Christ and for the church.

33 Nevertheless ye also, each one in particular, shall so love his own wife as himself, and the wife that she fear her husband.
