²⁸ So husbands should care for their wives as if their lives depended on it, the same way they care for their own bodies. As you love her, you ultimately are loving part of yourself (remember, you are one flesh). ²⁹ No one really hates his own body; he takes care to feed and love it, just as the Anointed takes care of His church, ³⁰ because we are living members of His body.
