Ephesians:5:23-32
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For the husband is (
5748 )
the head of the wife ,
even as Christ is the head of the church :
and he is (
5748 )
the saviour of the body .
*
Therefore as the church is subject (
5743 )
unto Christ ,
so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing .
*
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 .
