Ephesians
Chapters 5:26-32
Revised Version 1885
26that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
27that he might present the church to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:
29for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church;
30because we are members of his body.
31For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the twain shall become one flesh.
32This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church.
