Ephesians 5:22-32
221WivesG1135, 2subject yourselves to your ownG2398 husbandsG435, 3as to the LordG2962. 23For 4the husbandG435 is the headG2776 of the wifeG1135, as ChristG5547 alsoG2532 is the 5headG2776 of the churchG1577, He HimselfG846 6being the SaviorG4990 of the bodyG4983. 24But as the churchG1577 isG5293 subjectG5293 to ChristG5547, soG3779 alsoG2532 the wivesG1135 ought to be to their husbandsG435 in everythingG3956.
257HusbandsG435, loveG25 your wivesG1135, justG2531 asG2531 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 lovedG25 the churchG1577 and 8gaveG3860 HimselfG1438 upG3860 for her, 269soG2443 thatG2443 He might sanctifyG37 her, having 10cleansedG2511 her by the 11washingG3067 of waterG5204 with 12the wordG4487, 27that He might 13presentG3936 to HimselfG1438 the churchG1577 14in allG1741 her gloryG1741, havingG2192 noG3361 spotG4696 orG2228 wrinkleG4512 orG2228 anyG5100 suchG5108 thingG5108; but that she would be 15holyG40 and blamelessG299. 28SoG3779 husbandsG435 alsoG2532 oughtG3784 to 16loveG25 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 asG2531 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 does the churchG1577, 30becauseG3754 we are 17partsG3196 of His 18bodyG4983. 3119For thisG3778 reasonG473 a manG444 shall leaveG2641 his fatherG3962 and his motherG3384 and 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.
