* Husbands , love (5720 ) your wives , even as Christ also loved (5656 ) the church , and gave (5656 ) himself for it ; * That he might sanctify (5661 ) and cleanse it (5660 ) with the washing of water by the word , * That he might present (5661 ) it to himself a glorious church , not having (5723 ) spot , or wrinkle , or any such thing ; but that it should be (5753 ) holy and without blemish . * So ought (5719 ) men to love (5721 ) their wives as their own bodies . He that loveth (5723 ) his wife loveth (5719 ) himself . * For no man ever yet hated (5656 ) his own flesh ; but nourisheth (5719 ) and cherisheth (5719 ) it , even as the Lord the church : * For we are (5748 ) members of his body , of his flesh , and of his bones . * For this cause shall a man leave (5692 ) his father and mother , and shall be joined (5701 ) unto his wife , and they two shall be (5704 ) one flesh . * This is (5748 ) a great mystery : but I speak (5719 ) concerning Christ and the church . * Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love (5720 ) his wife even as himself ; and the wife see that she reverence (5741 ) her husband .
