25 Husbands, love your wives, as also the Meshiha loved his church, and gave himself for her,

26 that he might sanctify her and purify her in the laver of waters and by the word,

27 and that he might constitute her a church unto himself, being glorified, and not having blemish or wrinkle or any thing like these; but to be holy and spotless.

28 So it becometh husbands to love their wives, as their own bodies. For he who his wife loveth, himself he loveth.

29 For no man ever hated his own body, but nourisheth it, and taketh care of it; so also the Meshiha (taketh care) of the church.

30 For we are members of his body, and of his flesh are we, and of his bones.
