He who is loving his own wife is loving himself." ²⁹ For no one at any time hates his own flesh, but is nurturing and cherishing it, according as Christ also the ecclesia, ³⁰ for we are members of His body. ³¹ For this "a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh." ³² This secret is great: yet I am saying this as to Christ and as to the ecclesia. ³³ Moreover, you also individually, each be loving his own wife thus, as himself, yet that the wife may be fearing the husband."
