5:25
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her
5:26
to sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
5:27
and to present her to Himself as a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle or any such blemish, but holy and blameless.
5:28
In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
5:29
Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.
5:30
For we are members of His body.
