Ephesians

Chapter 5

• 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
• 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
• 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
• 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
• 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as 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 unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
• 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
