Ephesians 5:28-33
New King James Version
28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 30 For (A)we are members of His body, [a]of His flesh and of His bones. 31 (B)“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the (C)two shall become one flesh.” 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless (D)let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she (E)respects her husband.
