22Wives, submit to your own husbands as to the Lord.23For the man is head of the woman, as also Christ is head of the assembly, he being the Savior of the body.24But as the assembly is subjected to the Christ, so also the women to the men in all things.25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for her.26That he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word.27That he might present to himself the assembly in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she might be holy and blameless.28So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.29For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cares for it, just as also the Christ does the assembly.30Because we are members of his body.31For this a man shall leave the father and the mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall be toward one flesh.32This mystery is great; I am speaking about Christ and the assembly.33However, each one of you also must love his own wife as himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
