Verse
Ephesians - ch 5 v 21 - 33
- subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.
- Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
- For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.
- But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.
- Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;
- that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
- that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
- Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.
- For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;
- because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.
- "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh."1
- This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.
- Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
- Genesis 2:24
