Ephesians

Ephesians 5 📜 📕 ↷

22 Let women be subject to their husbands, as to our Lord:📜💬📚

23 because the man is the head of the woman: as Christ is the head of the CHURCH. Himself, the Saviour of his body.📜💬📚

24 But as the CHURCH is subject to Christ, so also the women to their husbands in all things.📜💬📚

25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the CHURCH, and delivered himself for it:📜💬📚

26 that he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word,📜💬📚

27 that he might present to himself a glorious CHURCH, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it may be holy and unspotted.📜💬📚

28 So also men ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself.📜💬📚

29 For no man ever hated his own flesh: but he nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also Christ the CHURCH:📜💬📚

30 because we be the members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.📜💬📚

31 For this cause shall man leave his father and mother: and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall be two in one flesh.📜💬📚

32 This is a great Sacrament. But I speak in Christ & in the CHURCH.📜💬📚
