28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 30 For Gen. 2:23we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 31 Gen. 2:24; Matt. 19:5; Mark 10:7"For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the (1 Cor. 6:16)two shall become one flesh." 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless Col. 3:19let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she 1 Pet. 3:1, 6respects her husband.
