Ephesians 5:25-33

25 Husbands, love your wives, 

just as Christ loved the church

and gave himself up for her 

3 of 27

​

​

​

 26 to make her holy, 

cleansing her by the washing 

with water through the word,

​

​

​

 27 and to present her to himself 

as a radiant church, without stain

or wrinkle or any other blemish,

but holy and blameless.

​

​

28 In this same way, husbands ought

to love their wives as their own bodies.

He who loves his wife loves himself.

​

29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church

​

​

​

30 for we are members of his body.

 31 “For this reason

a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,

and the two will become one flesh.”

​

32 This is a profound mystery

—but I am talking about

Christ and the church.

33 However, each one of you also

must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
