Ephesians 5:28-33

New International Version

²⁸ In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives^(A) as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. ²⁹ After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— ³⁰ for we are members of his body.^{(B) 31} “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”^{[a](C) 32} This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. ³³ However, each one of you also must love his wife^(D) as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
