Verse
Ephesians - ch 5 v 21 - 33
- Being subject one to another, in the fear of Christ.
- Let women be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord:
- Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. He is the saviour of his body.
- Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their husbands in all things.
- Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it:
- That he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life:
- That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any; such thing; but that it should be holy, and without blemish.
- So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself.
- For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also Christ doth the church:
- Because we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
- For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall be two in one flesh.
- This is a great sacrament; but I speak in Christ and in the church.
- Nevertheless let every one of you in particular love his wife as himself: and let the wife fear her husband.
