Ephesians 5:29-32
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
29 For no one hates his own flesh but rather nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body.(A)
31 “For this reason a man shall leave [his] father and [his] mother
and be joined to his wife,
and the two shall become one flesh.”(B)
32 This is a great mystery, but I speak in reference to Christ and the church.(C)
