Ephesians 5:22-29

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:
