And placed all things under his, feet, and gave him head over all things to the church,

That it might now be made known to beginnings and powers in the heavenlies by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

To him the glory in the church in Christ Jesus to all generations of the times of times. Amen.

For the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

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

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

That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it be holy and blameless.

For none at any time hates his own flesh; but brings it up and cherishes it, as also the Lord the church:

This is a great mystery: but I speak to Christ and to the church.
