Ephesians 5:27-32 that he might himself present to himself the church, glorious, having no spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it may be holy and blameless.

ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁷ that he might himself present to himself the church, glorious, having no spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it may be holy and blameless. ²⁸ So husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself. ²⁹ For no one ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, as also Christ the church; ³⁰ because we are members of his body, [being] of his flesh, and of his bones. ³¹ For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh. ³² This mystery is great; but I am speaking of Christ and of the church.
