22 Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as of the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.
24 And as the church is under Christ's authority, so let wives be under the rule of their husbands in all things.
25 Husbands, have love for your wives, even as Christ had love for the church, and gave himself for it;
26 So that he might make it holy, having made it clean with the washing of water by the word,
27 And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete.
28 Even so it is right for husbands to have love for their wives as for their bodies. He who has love for his wife has love for himself:
29 For no man ever had hate for his flesh; but he gives it food and takes care of it, even as Christ does for the church;
30 Because we are parts of his body.
31 For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
32 This is a great secret: but my words are about Christ and the church.
33 But do you, everyone, have love for his wife, even as for himself; and let the wife see that she has respect for her husband.
22 I hustruer! underordne eder under eders egne menn som under Herren!
23 for mannen er hustruens hoved, likesom Kristus er menighetens hoved, han som er sitt legemes frelser.
24 Men likesom menigheten underordner sig under Kristus, således skal også hustruene underordne sig under sine menn i alle ting.
25 I menn! elsk eders hustruer, likesom Kristus elsket menigheten og gav sig selv for den,
26 for å hellige den, idet han renset den ved vannbadet i ordet,
27 forat han selv kunde fremstille menigheten for sig i herlighet, uten plett eller rynke eller noget sådant, men at den kunde være hellig og ulastelig.
28 Så er mennene skyldige å elske sine hustruer som sine egne legemer. Den som elsker sin hustru, elsker sig selv;
29 ingen har jo nogensinne hatet sitt eget kjød, men han før og varmer det, likesom Kristus gjør med menigheten;
30 for vi er hans legemes lemmer.
31 Derfor skal mannen forlate far og mor og holde sig til sin hustru, og de to skal være ett kjød.
32 Denne hemmelighet er stor; men jeg tenker hermed på Kristus og på menigheten.
33 Dog, også I skal elske, enhver sin hustru som sig selv, og hustruen skal ha ærefrykt for sin mann.
