Wives and Husbands
Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord
For the husband is the head of wife as Christ is the head of the church,
His body, of which He is the Savior.
Now as the church submits to Christ,
So also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives,
just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy,
cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
and to present her to himself as a radiant church,
without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish,
but holy and blameless.
In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies.
He who loves his wife, love himself.
After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it,
just as Christ does the church
For we are members of His body.
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
and the two will become one flesh.
However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself,
and the wife must respect her husband.
