For which reason, remember that you were formerly Gen tiles, by natural descent, and that you are called Uncircumcision by the Circumcision; so called, from a mark made in the flesh by hands;

so that, when you read, you can see my understanding in the mystery of the Christ,)

This I say, therefore, and appeal to you solemnly in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the other Gentiles walk, in the error of their minds,

But you have not so learned the Christ,

See, then, that you walk circumspectly, not as unwise, but as wise men,

But as the church is subject to the Christ, so, also, let the wives be subject to their own husbands in every thing.

So ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself;

But yet, let each one of you so love his wife as himself; and let the wife see that she reverence her husband.
