22 Femmes, soyez soumises à vos maris, comme au Seigneur;

23 car le mari est le chef de la femme, comme Christ est le chef de l'Eglise, qui est son corps, et dont il est le Sauveur.

24 Or, de même que l'Eglise est soumise à Christ, les femmes aussi doivent l'être à leurs maris en toutes choses.

25 Maris, aimez vos femmes, comme Christ a aimé l'Eglise, et s'est livré lui-même pour elle,

26 afin de la sanctifier par la parole, après l'avoir purifiée par le baptême d'eau,

27 afin de faire paraître devant lui cette Eglise glorieuse, sans tache, ni ride, ni rien de semblable, mais sainte et irrépréhensible.

28 C'est ainsi que les maris doivent aimer leurs femmes comme leurs propres corps. Celui qui aime sa femme s'aime lui-même.

29 Car jamais personne n'a haï sa propre chair; mais il la nourrit et en prend soin, comme Christ le fait pour l'Eglise,

30 parce que nous sommes membres de son corps.

31 C'est pourquoi l'homme quittera son père et sa mère, et s'attachera à sa femme, et les deux deviendront une seule chair.

32 Ce mystère est grand; je dis cela par rapport à Christ et à l'Eglise.

33 Du reste, que chacun de vous aime sa femme comme lui-même, et que la femme respecte son mari.

22 Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as of the Lord.

23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.

24 And as the church is under Christ's authority, so let wives be under the rule of their husbands in all things.

25 Husbands, have love for your wives, even as Christ had love for the church, and gave himself for it;

26 So that he might make it holy, having made it clean with the washing of water by the word,

27 And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete.

28 Even so it is right for husbands to have love for their wives as for their bodies. He who has love for his wife has love for himself:

29 For no man ever had hate for his flesh; but he gives it food and takes care of it, even as Christ does for the church;

30 Because we are parts of his body.

31 For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.

32 This is a great secret: but my words are about Christ and the church.

33 But do you, everyone, have love for his wife, even as for himself; and let the wife see that she has respect for her husband.
