Eph 5:22: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

Eph 5:23: For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

Eph 5:24: Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

Eph 5:25: Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

Eph 5:26: That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

Eph 5:27: 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.

Eph 5:28: So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

Eph 5:29: For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

Eph 5:30: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

Eph 5:31: 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.

Eph 5:32: This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

Eph 5:33: Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
