Ephesians 5:31-33

311For 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.

33NeverthelessG4133, eachG1538 individualG1520 among you alsoG2532 is to 2loveG25 his ownG1438 wifeG1135 even as himselfG1438, and the wifeG1135 must see to it that she 34respectsG5399 her husbandG435.
