25The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,
26that he might sanctify it, having cleansed [it] with the bathing of the water in the saying,
27that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished;
28so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife -- himself he doth love;
29for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord -- the assembly,
30because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones;
31`for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be -- the two -- for one flesh;`
