Ephesians 5:25-33 - Husbands And Wives
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave up Himself for it: 26 to sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might prepare it for Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and unblameable. 28 Men ought so to love their wives, as their own bodies: he that loveth his wife, loveth himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord also doth the church: 30 for we are members of his body, as if taken out of his flesh, and of his bones, as Eve was out of Adam's.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This mystery is great: 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 let the wife reverence her husband.
