Verse
Ephesians - ch 5 v 21 - 33
- Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
- Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
- For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the Savior of the body.
- Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so let wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
- Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
- That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
- 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 ought men to love their wives, as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself.
- For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
- For 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 be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
- This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
- Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself: and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
