Ephesians 5:22–32

²²Let women be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord:

²³Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. He is the saviour of his body.

²⁴Therefore as the church is subject to Christ: so also let the wives be to their husbands in all things.

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

²⁶That he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life:

²⁷That 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.

²⁸So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

²⁹For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also Christ doth the church:

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

³¹For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother: and shall cleave to his wife. And they shall be two in one flesh.

³²This is a great sacrament: but I speak in Christ and in the church.
