28 So ought husbands to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself.
29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it even as the Lord with his congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}:
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and shall be joined unto his wife, and they shall be two in one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}.
33 Nevertheless, let each one of you do likewise, let each one so love his wife even as himself, and let the wife see that she reverences her husband.
