Ephesians 5:22-32

Young's Literal Translation

²² The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord,

²³ because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body,

²⁴ but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also [are] the wives to their own husbands in everything.

²⁵ The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,

²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed [it] with the bathing of the water in the saying,

²⁷ that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished;

²⁸ so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife -- himself he doth love;

²⁹ for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord -- the assembly,

³⁰ because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones;

³¹ `for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be -- the two -- for one flesh;'

³² this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly;
