Ephesians:5:21-6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
submitting to one another in the fear of God .
*
Wives ,
submit to your own husbands ,
as to the Lord .
*
For the husband is head of the wife ,
as also Christ is head of the church ;
and He is the Savior of the body .
*
Therefore ,
just as the church is subject to Christ ,
so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything .
*
Husbands ,
love your wives ,
just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her ,
*
that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word ,
*
that He might present her to Himself a glorious church ,
not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing ,
but that she should be holy and without blemish .
*
So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies ;
he who loves his wife loves himself .
*
For no one ever hated his own flesh ,
but nourishes and cherishes it ,
just as the Lord does the church .
*
For we are members of His body ,
of His flesh and of His bones .
* "
For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife ,
and the two shall become one flesh ."
*
This is a great mystery ,
but I speak concerning Christ and the church .
*
Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself ,
and let the wife see that she respects her husband .
