King James Version
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.(Ephesians 5:23)
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.(Ephesians 5:24)
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;(Ephesians 5:25)
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
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.(Ephesians 5:27)
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.(Ephesians 5:28)
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:(Ephesians 5:29)
