^25 (A)Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and ^(B)gave Himself for her,

A Word to Husbands

^7 (A)Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, ^(B)as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, ^(C)that your prayers may not be hindered.

^19 (A)Husbands, love your wives and do not be ^(B)bitter toward them.

²⁸ So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.

^24 (A)Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and ^(B)be^[a] joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

³³ Nevertheless ^(A)let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she ^(B)respects her husband.

² And ^(A)walk in love, ^(B)as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God ^(C)for a sweet-smelling aroma.

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, ^(A)the faithful ^(B)witness, the ^(C)firstborn from the dead, and ^(D)the ruler over the kings of the earth.

To Him ^(E)who ^[a]loved us ^(F)and washed us from our sins in His own blood,

^4 (A)who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us ^(B)from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
