22 Wymmen, be thei suget to her hosebondis,

23 as to the Lord, for the man is heed of the wymman, as Crist is heed of the chirche; he is sauyour of his bodi.

24 But as the chirche is suget to Crist, so wymmen to her hosebondis in alle thingis.

25 Men, loue ye youre wyues, as Crist louyde the chirche, and yaf hym silf for it, to make it holi;

26 and clenside it with the waisching of watir, in the word of lijf,

27 to yyue the chirche gloriouse to hym silf, that it hadde no wem, ne ryueling, or ony siche thing, but that it be hooli and vndefoulid.

28 So and men schulen loue her wyues, as her owne bodies. He that loueth his wijf, loueth hym silf;

29 for no man hatide euere his owne fleisch, but nurischith and fostrith it, as Crist doith the chirche.

30 And we ben membris of his bodi, of his fleisch, and of his boonys.

31 For this thing a man schal forsake his fadir and modir, and he schal drawe to his wijf; and thei schulen be tweyne in o fleisch.

32 This sacrament is greet; yhe, Y seie in Crist, and in the chirche.

33 Netheles ye alle, ech man loue his wijf as hym silf; and the wijf drede hir hosebonde.
