Ephesians 5:28-32

28EvenG2532 so oughtG3784 husbandsG435 alsoG2532 to loveG25 their ownG1438 wivesG1135 as their ownG1438 bodiesG4983. He that loveth his ownG1438 wifeG1135 loveth himself: 29for no man everG4218 hatedG3404 his ownG1438 fleshG4561; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, evenG2532 as ChristG5547 alsoG2532 the churchG1577; 30because we areG1510 membersG3196 of his bodyG4983. 31For this cause shall a manG444 leaveG2641 his fatherG3962 and motherG3384, and shall cleave to his wifeG1135; and the twoG1417 shall become oneG1520 fleshG4561. 32This mysteryG3466 isG1510 greatG3173: but I speakG3004 in regard of ChristG5547 and of the churchG1577.
