Ephesians 5:31-33

311For 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 2loveG25 his ownG1438 wifeG1135 the sameG3779 as himselfG1438, and the wifeG1135 must see to it that she 3respectsG5399 her husbandG435.
