22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

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.
