MNT(i)
23 because a husband is the head of his wife even as Christ is head of the church, his body, which he saves.
24 But as the church submits itself to Christ, so also wives to their husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her,
26 in order that after cleansing her in the bath of baptism, he might sanctify her by his word,
27 so as to present her to himself, the church glorified, without spot or wrinkle or any such blemish; but on the contrary holy and faultless.
28 That is how husbands ought to love their wives, as they love their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it as Christ does the church;
30 for we are members of his body.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 There is a deep mystery here—I am speaking of Christ and his church.
33 But as for you individually, you must each one of you love his own wife exactly as if she were yourself; and the wife, on her part, should reverence her husband.
