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 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body. 24 But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without defect. 28 Even so husbands also ought 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, even as the Lord also does the assembly, 30 because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones. 31 "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife. Then the two will become one flesh." 32 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and the assembly. 33 Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
