• 25. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
  
  • Greek
    • Οἱ ἄνδρες ἀγαπᾶτε τὰς γυναῖκας ἑαυτῶν, καθὼς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς ἠγάπησεν τὴν ἐκκλησίαν καὶ ἑαυτὸν παρέδωκεν ὑπὲρ αὐτῆς
• 26. That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
  
  • Greek
    • ἵνα αὐτὴν ἁγιάσῃ καθαρίσας τῷ λουτρῷ τοῦ ὕδατος ἐν ῥήματι
• 27. 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.
  
  • Greek
    • ἵνα παραστήσῃ αὐτὴν ἑαυτῷ ἔνδοξον τὴν ἐκκλησίαν μὴ ἔχουσαν σπίλον ἢ ῥυτίδα ἤ τι τῶν τοιούτων ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα ᾖ ἁγία καὶ ἄμωμος
• 28. So ought men to love unto their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
  
  • Greek
    • οὕτως ὀφείλουσιν οἱ ἄνδρες ἀγαπᾶν τὰς ἑαυτῶν γυναῖκας ὡς τὰ ἑαυτῶν σώματα ὁ ἀγαπῶν τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα ἑαυτὸν ἀγαπᾷ
• 29. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
  
  • Greek
    • οὐδεὶς γάρ ποτε τὴν ἑαυτοῦ σάρκα ἐμίσησεν ἀλλ᾽ ἐκτρέφει καὶ θάλπει αὐτήν καθὼς καὶ ὁ Κύριος τὴν ἐκκλησίαν
• 30. For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
  
  • Greek
    • ὅτι μέλη ἐσμὲν τοῦ σώματος αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς σαρκός αὐτοῦ, καί ἐκ τῶν ὀστέων αὐτοῦ
• 31. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
  
  • Greek
    • ἀντὶ τούτου καταλείψει ἄνθρωπος τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν μητέρα καὶ προσκολληθήσεται πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔσονται οἱ δύο εἰς σάρκα μίαν
• 32.↓ This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
  
  • Greek
    • τὸ μυστήριον τοῦτο μέγα ἐστίν· ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω εἰς Χριστὸν καὶ εἰς τὴν ἐκκλησίαν
  • Notes
    • Return to →Jesus in the Old Testament- 7. God's arranged marriage
• 33. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
  
  • Greek
    • πλὴν καὶ ὑμεῖς οἱ καθ᾽ ἕνα ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα οὕτως ἀγαπάτω ὡς ἑαυτόν ἡ δὲ γυνὴ ἵνα φοβῆται τὸν ἄνδρα
