25 Men, love ye your wives, as Christ loved the church, and gave himself for it,
26 to make it holy; and cleansed it with the washing of water, in the word of life,
27 to give the church glorious to himself, that it had no wem, [or spot], nor rivelling [or wrinkle], or any such thing, but that it be holy and undefouled.
28 So and men shall love their wives, as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself;
29 for no man hated ever his own flesh, but nourisheth and fostereth it, as Christ doeth the church.
