Ephesians 5:28-33 (New American Standard)
View In My Bible
28
So husbands ought also to 1love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself ;
29
for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church,
30
because we are 2members of His 3body.
31
4FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.
32
This mystery is great ; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church.
33
Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to 5love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she a6respects her husband.
