kjv Ephesians:5:22-33 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Wives ,
submit yourselves unto your own husbands ,
as unto the Lord .
*
For the husband is the head of the wife ,
even as Christ is the head of the church :
and he is the saviour of the body .
*
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ ,
so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing .
*
Husbands ,
love your wives ,
even as Christ also loved the church ,
and gave himself for it ;
*
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word ,
*
That he might present it to himself a glorious church ,
not having spot ,
or wrinkle ,
or any such thing ;
but that it should be holy and without blemish .
*
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies .
He that loveth his wife loveth himself .
*
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh ;
but nourisheth and cherisheth it ,
even as the Lord the church :
*
For we are members of his body ,
of his flesh ,
and of his bones .
*
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother ,
and shall be joined unto his wife ,
and they two shall be one flesh .
*
This is a great mystery :
but I speak concerning Christ and the church .
*
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself ;
and the wife see that she reverence her husband .
