Ephesians 5:25-32
- Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her
- to sanctify her by cleansing her with the washing of the water by the word,
- so that he may present the church to himself as glorious—not having a stain or wrinkle, or any such blemish, but holy and blameless.
- In the same way husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
- For no one has ever hated his own body but he feeds it and takes care of it, just as Christ also does the church,
- for we are members of his body.
- For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become. one flesh.
- This mystery is great—but I am actually speaking with reference to Christ and the church.
