Ephesians 5:28-33

28SoG3779 husbandsG435 alsoG2532 oughtG3784 to 1loveG25 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 2partsG3196 of His 3bodyG4983.

314For 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.

33NeverthelessG4133, as for you individuallyG2596G1520, eachG1538 husband is to 5loveG25 his ownG1438 wifeG1135 the sameG3779 as himselfG1438, and the wifeG1135 must see to it that she 6respectsG5399 her husbandG435.
