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 [as] the glorious church, without spot or wrinkle or any such things, but that it should be holy and without blemish.

28 So men ought to love their wives as their [own] bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

29 For no man ever yet hated his [own] flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord loves the church.

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