22 Wives, be subject to your husbands as to the Lord,
23 for the husband is the head of the wife as Christ also (though he is the saviour of the Body) is the head of the church;
24 as the church is subject to Christ, so wives are to be subject to their husbands in every respect.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
26 to consecrate her by cleansing her in the bath of baptism as she utters her confession,
27 in order to have the church as his very own, standing before him in all her glory, with never a spot or wrinkle or any such flaw, but consecrated and unblemished.
28 So ought husbands to love their wives — to love them as their own bodies (he who loves his wife loves himself).
29 For no one ever hates his flesh; no, he nourishes and cherishes it (just as Christ does the church
30 for we are members of his Body).
31 Therefore shall a man leave father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the pair shall be one flesh.
32 This is a profound symbol, I mean as regards Christ and the church.
33 However, let every man of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife reverence her husband.
