Ephesians 5:22-32

22wives to your own husbands as to the Lord.

23For the husband is head of the wife, as Messiah also is head of His community—Himself the Savior of the body.

24But as Messiah’s community is submitted to Messiah, so also the wives to their husbands in everything.

25Husbands, love your wives just as Messiah also loved His community and gave Himself up for her

26to make her holy, having cleansed her by immersion in the word.

27Messiah did this so that He might present to Himself His glorious community—not having stain or wrinkle or any such thing, but in order that she might be holy and blameless.

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

29For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it—just as Messiah also does His community,

30because we are members of His body.

31“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”

32This mystery is great—but I am talking about Messiah and His community.
