25 Husbands, love your wives even as the Christ also loved the church and gave himself for her,

26 that he might sanctify and cleanse her in the washing of water by the word,

27 that he might present her glorious for himself, a church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

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

29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it even as the Lord with his church:

30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
