25HusbandsG3588G435, loveG25 yourG1438 wivesG3588G1135, even asG2531 ChristG3588G5547 alsoG2532 lovedG25 the AssemblyG3588G1577, andG2532 gaveG3860 himselfG1438 forG5228 itG846; 26ThatG2443 heG846 might sanctifyG37 and cleanse itG2511 with the washingG3588G3067 of waterG3588G5204 byG1722 the wordG4487, 27ThatG2443 he might presentG3936 itG846 to himselfG1438 a gloriousG1741 AssemblyG3588G1577, notG3361 havingG2192 spotG4696, orG2228 wrinkleG4512, orG2228 anyG5100 such thingG5108; butG235 thatG2443 it should beG1510 holyG40 andG2532 without blemishG299. 28SoG3779 oughtG3784 menG3588G435 to loveG25 theirG1438 wivesG1135 asG5613 their ownG1438 bodiesG4983. He thatG3588 lovethG25 hisG1438 wifeG1135 lovethG25 himselfG1438. 29ForG1063 no manG3762 ever yetG4218 hatedG3404 his ownG1438 fleshG4561; butG235 nourishethG1625 andG2532 cherishethG2282 itG846, evenG2532 asG2531 the LordG3588G2962 the AssemblyG3588G1577: 30ForG3754 we areG1510 membersG3196 of hisG846 bodyG3588G4983, ofG1537 hisG846 fleshG3588G4561, andG2532 ofG1537 hisG846 bonesG3588G3747. 31ForG473 this causeG3778 shallG2641 a manG444 leaveG2641 hisG846 fatherG3588G3962 andG2532 motherG3588G3384, andG2532 shall be joinedG4347 untoG4314 hisG846 wifeG3588G1135, andG2532 theyG1510 twoG1417 shall beG1510 oneG1520 fleshG4561. 32ThisG3778 isG1510 a greatG3173 mysteryG3588G3466: butG1161 IG1473 speakG3004 concerningG1519 ChristG5547 andG2532 the AssemblyG3588G1577. 33NeverthelessG4133 letG25 every oneG1520 of youG4771 in particularG1538 soG3779 loveG25 hisG1438 wifeG3588G1135 even asG5613 himselfG1438; andG1161 the wifeG3588G1135 see thatG2443 she reverenceG5399 her husbandG3588G435.
