22 wives to their own husbands as in the Lord,

23 because a man is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church and he is the savior of the body.

24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so wives are to their husbands in everything.

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

26 that he might make it holy, cleansing it by the washing with water according to his word,

27 that he might present to himself the church glorious, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but holy and faultless.

28 Thus ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself,

29 for no one ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church,

30 for we are members of his body.

31 "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife and the two shall become one flesh.

32 "This mystery is great, but I am speaking of Christ and the church.

33 But each one of you must love his own wife as himself, and the wife must reverence her husband.
