22 Femmes, soyez soumises à vos maris, comme au Seigneur;

23 car le mari est le chef de la femme, comme Christ est le chef de l'Eglise, qui est son corps, et dont il est le Sauveur.

24 Or, de même que l'Eglise est soumise à Christ, les femmes aussi doivent l'être à leurs maris en toutes choses.

25 Maris, aimez vos femmes, comme Christ a aimé l'Eglise, et s'est livré lui-même pour elle,

26 afin de la sanctifier par la parole, après l'avoir purifiée par le baptême d'eau,

27 afin de faire paraître devant lui cette Eglise glorieuse, sans tache, ni ride, ni rien de semblable, mais sainte et irrépréhensible.

28 C'est ainsi que les maris doivent aimer leurs femmes comme leurs propres corps. Celui qui aime sa femme s'aime lui-même.

29 Car jamais personne n'a haï sa propre chair; mais il la nourrit et en prend soin, comme Christ le fait pour l'Eglise,

30 parce que nous sommes membres de son corps.

31 C'est pourquoi l'homme quittera son père et sa mère, et s'attachera à sa femme, et les deux deviendront une seule chair.

32 Ce mystère est grand; je dis cela par rapport à Christ et à l'Eglise.

33 Du reste, que chacun de vous aime sa femme comme lui-même, et que la femme respecte son mari.

22 The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord,

23 because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body,

24 but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also [are] the wives to their own husbands in everything.

25 The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,

26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed [it] with the bathing of the water in the saying,

27 that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished;

28 so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife -- himself he doth love;

29 for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord -- the assembly,

30 because members we are 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 to his wife, and they shall be -- the two -- for one flesh;

32 this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly;

33 but ye also, every one in particular -- let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife -- that she may reverence the husband.
