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 subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body. 24 But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without defect. 28 Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. 29 For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly, 30 because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones. 31 "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife. Then the two will become one flesh." 32 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and the assembly. 33 Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
