²⁸ In the same way ^(A)husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. ²⁹ For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, ³⁰ because ^(B)we are members of his body. ^31 (C)“Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and ^(D)the two shall become one flesh.” ³² This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. ³³ However, ^(E)let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she ^(F)respects her husband.

⁶ So they are no longer two but one flesh. ^(A)What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
