Wives and Husbands

21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

21:

22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

22:

23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

23:

24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing.

24:

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

25:

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

26:

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.

27:

28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

28:

29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

29:

30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

30:

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.

31:

32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

32:

33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife [see] that she reverence [her] husband.

33:
