Ephesians 5:24-28

24But as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

25Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her

26to sanctify her by cleansing her with the washing of the water by the word,

27so that he may present the church to himself as glorious – not having a stain or wrinkle, or any such blemish, but holy and blameless.

28In the same way husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
