Love One Another


Wives, submit to your husbands as the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church; He is the saviour 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 Himshelf for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, That He might present her ti Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wringkle 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 himshelf. 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 nad of His bones. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and 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 himshelf, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
