Marriage Like Christ and the Church
22
1
Wives
,
2
be subject to your
own
husbands
,
3
as to the
Lord
.
23
For
4
the
husband
is the
head
of the
wife
, as
Christ
also
is the
5
head
of the
church
, He
Himself
6
being the
Savior
of the
body
.
24
But as the
church
is
subject
to
Christ
,
so
also
the
wives
ought to be to their
husbands
in
everything
.
25
7
Husbands
,
love
your
wives
,
just
as
Christ
also
loved
the
church
and
8
gave
Himself
up for her,
26
9
so
that He might
sanctify
her, having
10
cleansed
her by the
11
washing
of
water
with
12
the
word
,
27
that He might
13
present
to
Himself
the
church
in
all
her
glory
,
having
no
spot
or
wrinkle
or
any
such
thing
; but that she would be
14
holy
and
blameless
.
28
So
husbands
ought
also
to
15
love
their
own
wives
as their
own
bodies
. He who
loves
his
own
wife
loves
himself
;
29
for
no
one
ever
hated
his
own
flesh
, but
nourishes
and
cherishes
it,
just
as
Christ
also
does the
church
,
30
because
we are
16
members
of His
17
body
.
31
18
FOR
THIS
REASON
A
MAN
SHALL
LEAVE
HIS
FATHER
AND
MOTHER
AND SHALL BE
JOINED
TO HIS
WIFE
, AND THE
TWO
SHALL
BECOME
*
ONE
FLESH
.
32
This
mystery
is
great
; but I am
speaking
with
reference
to
Christ
and the
church
.
33
Nevertheless
,
each
individual
among you
also
is to
19
love
his
own
wife
even as
himself
, and the
wife
must see to it that she
20
respects
her
husband
.
