Marriage—Christ and the Church

22 Wives, asubmit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.  
23 For athe husband is head of the wife, as also bChrist is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.  
24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands ain everything.  
25 aHusbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and bgave Himself for her,  
26 that He might1 sanctify and cleanse her awith the washing of water bby the word,  
27 athat He might present her to Himself a glorious church, bnot having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.  
28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.
29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.
30 For awe are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.  
31 a“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the btwo shall become one flesh.”  
32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
33 Nevertheless alet each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she brespects her husband.
