22 Wives, {submit yourselves} to your own husbands, as to the Lord,

23 for a husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ {is} head of the assembly. *He* {is} Saviour of the body.

24 But even as the assembly is subjected to the Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your own wives, even as the Christ also loved the assembly, and has delivered himself up for it,

26 in order that he might sanctify it, purifying {it} by the washing of water by {the} word,

27 that *he* might present the assembly to himself glorious, having no spot, or wrinkle, or any of such things; but that it might be holy and blameless.

28 So ought men also to love their own wives as their own bodies: he that loves his own wife loves himself.

29 For no one has ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as also the Christ the assembly:

30 for we are members of his body; {we are of his flesh, and of his bones.}

31 Because of this a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.

32 This mystery is great, but *I* speak as to Christ, and as to the assembly.

33 But *ye* also, every one of you, let each so love his own wife as himself; but as to the wife {I speak} that she may fear the husband.

22 I hustruer! underordne eder under eders egne menn som under Herren!

23 for mannen er hustruens hoved, likesom Kristus er menighetens hoved, han som er sitt legemes frelser.

24 Men likesom menigheten underordner sig under Kristus, således skal også hustruene underordne sig under sine menn i alle ting.

25 I menn! elsk eders hustruer, likesom Kristus elsket menigheten og gav sig selv for den,

26 for å hellige den, idet han renset den ved vannbadet i ordet,

27 forat han selv kunde fremstille menigheten for sig i herlighet, uten plett eller rynke eller noget sådant, men at den kunde være hellig og ulastelig.

28 Så er mennene skyldige å elske sine hustruer som sine egne legemer. Den som elsker sin hustru, elsker sig selv;

29 ingen har jo nogensinne hatet sitt eget kjød, men han før og varmer det, likesom Kristus gjør med menigheten;

30 for vi er hans legemes lemmer.

31 Derfor skal mannen forlate far og mor og holde sig til sin hustru, og de to skal være ett kjød.

32 Denne hemmelighet er stor; men jeg tenker hermed på Kristus og på menigheten.

33 Dog, også I skal elske, enhver sin hustru som sig selv, og hustruen skal ha ærefrykt for sin mann.
