25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27That 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.
28So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
30For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
33Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
25Husbands, loue your wiues, euen as Christ also loued the Church, and gaue himselfe for it:
26That he might sanctifie & cleanse it with the washing of water, by the word,
27That hee might present it to himselfe a glorious Church, not hauing spot or wrinckle, or any such thing: but that it should bee holy and without blemish.
28So ought men to loue their wiues, as their owne bodies: hee that loueth his wife, loueth himselfe.
29For no man euer yet hated his owne flesh: but nourisheth and cherisheth it, euen as the Lord the Church:
30For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31For this cause shall a man leaue his father and mother, and shall be ioyned vnto his wife, and they two shalbe one flesh.
32This is a great mysterie: but I speake concerning Christ and the Church.
33Neuerthelesse, let euery one of you in particular, so loue his wife euen as himselfe, and the wife see that she reuerence her husband.
