²⁸ Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

²⁹ For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;

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

³¹ "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh."

³² This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.

³³ Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
