Husbands, love your own wives, as also Christ loved the church, and delivered himself up for it; That he might consecrate it, having cleansed by the washing of water in the word, 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. read more.

For none at any time hates his own flesh; but brings it up and cherishes it, as also the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this a man shall leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak to Christ and to the church.

Jesus Christ » History of » Teaches people (in jerusalem)
And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they not seeing might see; and they seeing might be blind. And they being with him of the Pharisees heard these things, and said to him, We are not also blind? Jesus said to them If ye were blind, ye had not sinned: and now ye say, That we see; therefore your sin remains.
Truly, truly, I say to you, He not coming in through the door into the court-yard of the sheep, but coming up from another place, he is a thief and robber. And he coming in through the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the guard of the door opens; and the sheep hear his voice : and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. read more.
And when he would put forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger they would not follow, but they will flee from him : for they know not the voice of strangers. This proverb spake Jesus to then: and they knew not what things they were which he spake th them. Then said Jesus again to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, That I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep heard them not. I am the door: if any come in through me, he shall be saved, and he shall me in, and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes not, except that he steal, and sacrifice, and destroy: I came that they might have life, and have above measure. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. But the hired one, and not being the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and he leaves the sheep, and flees: and the wolf plunders them, and scatters the sheep. The hired flees, because he is hired, and no care is to him for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and I know mine, and am known by mine. As the Father knows me, I also know the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have, other sheep, which are not of this court-yard: and I must also bring them, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, and one shepherd. Therefore does my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command received I of my Father. Then was a division again among the Jews for these words. And many of them said, He has a demon, and is frenzied; why hear ye him? Others said, These are not the words of a demon. A demon cannot open the eyes of the blind.

I honoured thee upon earth: I finished the work which thou hast given me that I should do. And now, honour thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the honour which I had with thee before the world was. I manifested thy name to the men which thou hast given me from the world: they were to thee, and thou hast given them to me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For the words which thou hast given me, I have given them and they received, and knew in truth that I came out from thee, and they believed that thou sentest me. I ask for them: I ask not for the world, but for them thou hast given me: for they are to thee. And all my things are thine, and thine mine; and I have been honoured in them. And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. O holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou but given me, that they might be one, as we. When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those thou hast given me I watched, and not one of them perished, except the son of perdition; that the writing might be completed. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that I might have my joy completed in them. I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, for they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. I ask not that thou take them out of the world, but that thou keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. Render them holy in thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou sentest me into the world, I also sent them into the world. And for them I render myself holy, that they also be rendered holy in the truth; And I ask not for these alone, but also for them believing in me through their word; That all might be one; as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee, that they also be one in us; that the world might believe that thou sentest me. And I, the honour which thou hast given me, have-given them; that they might be one, as we are one. I in them, and thou in me, that they might be perfected in one: and that the world might know that thou sentest me, and lovedst them, as thou lovedst me. O Father, those thou hast given me, I will that where I am these also be with me: that they might behold my glory, which thou gavest me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O just Father, the world knew thee not: but I knew thee, and these knew that thou didst send me. And I made known to them thy name, and I will make known: that the love with which thou lovedst me might be in them, and I in them.

The hired flees, because he is hired, and no care is to him for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and I know mine, and am known by mine.

Therefore does my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command received I of my Father. Then was a division again among the Jews for these words.

Then the Jews surrounded him, and said to him, How long takest thou away our soul? If thou art Christ, say to us with freedom of speech. Jesus answered them, I said to you, and ye believe not: the works which I do in my Father's name, these testify of me. But ye believe not, for ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you.
