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 Naised, olge allaheitlikud oma meestele, otsekui Issandale!

23 Sest mees on naise pea, nõnda nagu ka Kristus on Koguduse pea, Tema on ihu Õnnistegija.

24 Aga nõnda nagu Kogudus on allaheitlik Kristusele, nõnda olgu ka naised oma meestele kõigis asjus.

25 Mehed, armastage oma naisi, nõnda nagu ka Kristus on armastanud Kogudust ja on andnud Iseenese tema eest,

26 et teda pühitseda, pestes puhtaks veepesemisega sõna sees,

27 ja seada Enese ette Kogudus austatuna, nii et tal ei oleks laiku ega kortsu ega muud sellesarnast, vaid et ta oleks püha ja laitmatu.

28 Nõnda peavad mehedki omi naisi armastama nagu iseenese ihu. Kes oma naist armastab, armastab iseennast.

29 Sest ükski ei ole iialgi vihanud iseenese liha, vaid igaüks toidab ja hoiab seda, nõnda nagu ka Issand Kogudust.

30 Sest meie oleme Tema Ihu liikmed.

31 „Seepärast inimene jätab maha oma isa ja ema ning hoiab oma naise poole, ja need kaks on üks liha!"

32 See saladus on suur; aga mina räägin Kristusest ja Kogudusest.

33 Olgu nüüd kuidas on, aga teiegi igaüks omaette armastage oma naist nagu iseennast; aga naine kartku meest.
