and to cause all to see what is the fellowship of the secret that hath been hid from the ages in God, who the all things did create by Jesus Christ,

This, then, I say, and I testify in the Lord; ye are no more to walk, as also the other nations walk, in the vanity of their mind,

and ye did not so learn the Christ,

if so be ye did hear him, and in him were taught, as truth is in Jesus;

See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise,

but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also are the wives to their own husbands in everything.

so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife -- himself he doth love;

but ye also, every one in particular -- let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife -- that she may reverence the husband.
