Ephesians:5:21-6
rsv@Ephesians:5:21 @ Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.
rsv@Ephesians:5:22 @ Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord.
rsv@Ephesians:5:23 @ For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.
rsv@Ephesians:5:24 @ As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in everything to their husbands.
rsv@Ephesians:5:25 @ Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
rsv@Ephesians:5:26 @ that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
rsv@Ephesians:5:27 @ that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
rsv@Ephesians:5:28 @ Even so husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
rsv@Ephesians:5:29 @ For no man ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ does the church,
rsv@Ephesians:5:30 @ because we are members of his body.
rsv@Ephesians:5:31 @ "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."
rsv@Ephesians:5:32 @ This mystery is a profound one, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church;
rsv@Ephesians:5:33 @ however, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
