22 As mulheres sejam submissas ao seu próprio marido, como ao Senhor; 23 porque o marido é o cabeça da mulher, como também Cristo é o cabeça da igreja, sendo este mesmo o salvador do corpo. 24 Como, porém, a igreja está sujeita a Cristo, assim também as mulheres sejam em tudo submissas ao seu marido. 25 Maridos, amai vossa mulher, como também Cristo amou a igreja e a si mesmo se entregou por ela, 26 para que a santificasse, tendo-a purificado por meio da lavagem de água pela palavra, 27 para a apresentar a si mesmo igreja gloriosa, sem mácula, nem ruga, nem coisa semelhante, porém santa e sem defeito. 28 Assim também os maridos devem amar a sua mulher como ao próprio corpo. Quem ama a esposa a si mesmo se ama. 29 Porque ninguém jamais odiou a própria carne; antes, a alimenta e dela cuida, como também Cristo o faz com a igreja; 30 porque somos membros do seu corpo. 31 Eis por que deixará o homem a seu pai e a sua mãe e se unirá à sua mulher, e se tornarão os dois uma só carne. 32 Grande é este mistério, mas eu me refiro a Cristo e à igreja. 33 Não obstante, vós, cada um de per si também ame a própria esposa como a si mesmo, e a esposa respeite ao marido.

22 Wives, be in subjection unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body. 24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it; 26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, 27 that he might present the church to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself: 29 for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church; 30 because we are members of his body. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh. 32 This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church. 33 Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she fear her husband.

22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.

23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.

24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her

26 to make her holy, cleansing "her by the washing with water through the word,

27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church —

30 for we are members of his body.

31 "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." [3]

32 This is a profound mystery —but I am talking about Christ and the church.

33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
