Ephesians 5:25-32

25Husbands, love your own wives, even as the Christ also loved the assembly, and has delivered himself up for it,

26in order that he might sanctify it, purifying [it] by the washing of water by [the] word,

27that he might present the assembly to himself glorious, having no spot, or wrinkle, or any of such things; but that it might be holy and blameless.

28So ought men also to love their own wives as their own bodies: he that loves his own wife loves himself.

29For no one has ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as also the Christ the assembly:

30for we are members of his body; [we are of his flesh, and of his bones.]

31Because of this a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.

32This mystery is great, but I speak as to Christ, and as to the assembly.
