Ephesians 5:27-32

27that He might 1presentG3936 to HimselfG1438 the churchG1577 2in allG1741 her gloryG1741, havingG2192 noG3361 spotG4696 orG2228 wrinkleG4512 orG2228 anyG5100 suchG5108 thingG5108; but that she would be 3holyG40 and blamelessG299.

28SoG3779 husbandsG435 oughtG3784 alsoG2532 to 4loveG25 their ownG1438 wivesG1135 as their ownG1438 bodiesG4983. He who lovesG25 his ownG1438 wifeG1135 lovesG25 himselfG1438;

29for noG3762 oneG3762 everG4218 hatedG3404 his ownG1438 fleshG4561, but nourishesG1625 and cherishesG2282 it, justG2531 as ChristG5547 alsoG2532 does the churchG1577,

30becauseG3754 we are 5membersG3196 of His 6bodyG4983.

317For thisG3778 reasonG473 a manG444 shall leaveG2641 his fatherG3962 and motherG3384 and shall be joinedG4347 to his wifeG1135, and the twoG1417 shall becomeG1510G1519 oneG1520 fleshG4561.

32ThisG3778 mysteryG3466 is greatG3173; but I am speakingG3004 with referenceG1519 to ChristG5547 and the churchG1577.
