And hath put all things under his feet, and hath made him above all things, the head of the congregation:

to the intent that now, unto the rulers and powers in heaven, might be known by the congregation the manifold wisdom of God,

be praise in the congregation by Jesus Christ, throughout all generations from time to time. Amen.

For the husband is the wife's head, even as Christ is the head of the congregation, and the same is the saviour of the body.

Therefore as the congregation is in subjection to Christ, likewise let the wives be in subjection to their husbands in all things.

Husbands: love your wives, even as Christ loved the congregation, and gave himself for it,

to make it unto himself a glorious congregation without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and without blame.

For no man ever yet, hated his own flesh; but nourisheth, and cherisheth it: even as the Lord doth the congregation.

This is a great secret, but I speak between Christ and the congregation.
