44 Therefore be ye also ready: for at an hour ye think not, the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord hath appointed ruler over his houshold, to give them food in due season?
46 Happy is that servant, whom his Lord coming shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say to you, he will make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But if that evil servant say in his heart, My Lord delayeth his coming:
49 And shall begin to smite his fellow-servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken:
50 The Lord of that servant shall come in a day that he expecteth him not, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping, and gnashing of teeth.

Ephesians 5:25-33
25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify it (having cleansed it by the washing of water) through the word:
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, that it may be holy and unblamable.
28 Men ought so to love their wives as their own bodies: he that loveth his wife, loveth himself.
29 Now no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also the Lord the church.
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery; I mean, concerning Christ and the church.
33 But let every one of you in particular so love his wife as himself: and let the wife reverence her husband.
