²³ For ^(A)the husband is the head of the wife even as ^(B)Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is ^(C)himself its Savior.

¹⁷ Do you not see that ^(A)whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled?^[a]

^17 (A)For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but ^(B)of righteousness and ^(C)peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
