Verse
Ephesians - ch 5 v 21 - 33
- submitting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.
- Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord,
- for a husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ is head of the assembly. He is Saviour of the body.
- But even as the assembly is subjected to the Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything.
- Husbands, love your own wives, even as the Christ also loved the assembly, and has delivered himself up for it,
- in order that he might sanctify it, purifying it by the washing of water by the word,
- that he might present the assembly to himself glorious, having no spot, or wrinkle, or any of such things; but that it might be holy and blameless.
- So ought men also to love their own wives as their own bodies: he that loves his own wife loves himself.
- For no one has ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as also the Christ the assembly:
- for we are members of his body; we are of his flesh, and of his bones.
- Because of this a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.
- This mystery is great, but I speak as to Christ, and as to the assembly.
- But ye also, every one of you, let each so love his own wife as himself; but as to the wife I speak that she may fear the husband.
