22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her 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.
