Ye wives, unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord,

Because, a husband, is the head of his wife, as, the Christ also, is the head of the assembly, he, being the saviour of the body, -

Nevertheless, as, the assembly, submitteth herself unto the Christ, so, the wives, unto their husbands, in everything:

Ye husbands, be loving your wives, even as, the Christ also, loved the assembly, and delivered, himself, up in her behalf,

That, her, he might sanctify, having purified her with the bath of water, in declaration,

That, he, might present, unto himself, the assembly, all glorious, not having spot or wrinkle or any of such things, but that she should be holy and blameless;

So, ought the husbands also to be loving their own wives, as their own bodies, - he that loveth his own wife, loveth himself,

No one, in fact, ever yet hated, his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, - even as, the Christ, the assembly,

Because, members, are we of his body; -

For this cause, will a man leave his father and his mother, and will cleave unto his wife, and, they two, shall become, one flesh.

This sacred secret, is, great, - I, however, am speaking as to Christ and as tothe assembly; -

Nevertheless, ye also, do ye, individually, each man be so loving, his own wife, as himself, and, the wife, see that she reverence her husband.
