and has put all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the assembly,

in order that now to the principalities and authorities in the heavenlies might be made known through the assembly the all-various wisdom of God,

to him be glory in the assembly in Christ Jesus unto all generations of the age of ages. Amen).

for a husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ is head of the assembly. He is Saviour of the body.

But even as the assembly is subjected to the Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your own wives, even as the Christ also loved the assembly, and has delivered himself up for it,

that he might present the assembly to himself glorious, having no spot, or wrinkle, or any of such things; but that it might be holy and blameless.

For no one has ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as also the Christ the assembly:

This mystery is great, but I speak as to Christ, and as to the assembly.
