And he hath subjected all things under his feet, and hath made him head over all the church,

That the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the principalities and powers in heavenly places through the church,

To him be glory in the church, and in Christ Jesus unto all generations, world without end. Amen.

Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. He is the saviour of his body.

Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their husbands in all things.

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it:

That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy, and without blemish.

For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also Christ doth the church:

This is a great sacrament; but I speak in Christ and in the church.
