Ephesians 5:21-33

21submitting yourselves to oneG240 another in [the] fearG5401 of ChristG5547. 22WivesG1135, [submit yourselves] to your ownG2398 husbandsG435, as to the LordG2962, 23for a husbandG435 isG1510 headG2776 of the wifeG1135, as alsoG2532 the ChristG5547 [isG1510] headG2776 of the assemblyG1577. He [isG1510] Saviour of the bodyG4983. 24But evenG2532 as the assemblyG1577 is subjectedG5293 to the ChristG5547, so alsoG2532 wivesG1135 to their own husbandsG435 in everythingG3956. 25HusbandsG435, loveG25 your ownG1438 wivesG1135, evenG2532 as the ChristG5547 alsoG2532 lovedG25 the assemblyG1577, and has deliveredG3860 himself up for it, 26in orderG2443 that he might sanctifyG37 it, purifying [it] by the washingG3067 of waterG5204 by [the] word, 27that he might presentG3936 the assemblyG1577 to himself glorious, having no spot, or wrinkle, or any of suchG5108 thingsG5108; but that it might beG1510 holyG40 and blamelessG299. 28So oughtG3784 menG435 alsoG2532 to loveG25 their ownG1438 wivesG1135 as their ownG1438 bodiesG4983: he that lovesG25 his ownG1438 wifeG1135 lovesG25 himself. 29For no oneG3762 has everG4218 hatedG3404 his ownG1438 fleshG4561, but nourishes and cherishes it, evenG2532 as alsoG2532 the ChristG5547 the assemblyG1577: 30for we areG1510 membersG3196 of his bodyG4983; [we areG1510 of his flesh, and of his bones.] 31Because of this a manG444 shall leaveG2641 his fatherG3962 and motherG3384, and shall beG1510 united to his wifeG1135, and the twoG1417 shall beG1510 oneG1520 fleshG4561. 32This mysteryG3466 isG1510 greatG3173, but I speakG3004 as to ChristG5547, and as to the assemblyG1577. 33But ye alsoG2532, every oneG1520 of you, let each soG2443 loveG25 his ownG1438 wifeG1135 as himself; but as to the wifeG1135 [I speak] that she may fearG5399 the husbandG435.
