mnt - Ephesians:5:22-33

mnt@Ephesians:5:22 @ Wives likewise to their husbands as to the Lord,

mnt@Ephesians:5:23 @ because a husband is the head of his wife even as Christ is head of the church, his body, which he saves.

mnt@Ephesians:5:24 @ But as the church submits itself to Christ, so also wives to their husbands in everything.

mnt@Ephesians:5:25 @ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her,

mnt@Ephesians:5:26 @ in order that after cleansing her in the bath of baptism, he might sanctify her by his word,

mnt@Ephesians:5:27 @ so as to present her to himself, the church glorified, without spot or wrinkle or any such blemish; but on the contrary holy and faultless.

mnt@Ephesians:5:28 @ That is how husbands ought to love their wives, as they love their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

mnt@Ephesians:5:29 @ For no man ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it as Christ does the church;

mnt@Ephesians:5:30 @ for we are members of his body.

mnt@Ephesians:5:31 @ For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

mnt@Ephesians:5:32 @ There is a deep mystery here - I am speaking of Christ and his church.

mnt@Ephesians:5:33 @ But as for you individually, you must each one of you love his own wife exactly as if she were yourself; and the wife, on her part, should reverence her husband.
