Who predestined us for sonship through Jesus Christ for himself, according to the desire of his will,

Having made known to us the mystery of his will according to his desire, which he purposed within himself

having abolished in his flesh the enmity--the law of the commandments in ordinances--so that he might create in himself the two into one new man, making peace,

Which was built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner,

And walk in love, as also the Christ loved us, and delivered himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a fragrant aroma.

Because a husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church, and himself the savior of the body.

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

so that he might present it to himself, the glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and unblemished.

So ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

Nevertheless ye also, each one in particular, shall so love his own wife as himself, and the wife that she fear her husband.
