Ephesians 5:25-33 - Husbands And Wives

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives even as the Christ also loved the congregation 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 congregation , 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 congregation : 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 shall be two in one flesh.

³² This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the congregation . ³³ Nevertheless, let each one of you do likewise, let each one so love his wife even as himself, and let the wife see that she reverences her husband.
