^{28 Ref} Even so it is right for husbands to have love for their wives as for their bodies. He who has love for his wife has love for himself:

^{29 Ref} For no man ever had hate for his flesh; but he gives it food and takes care of it, even as Christ does for the church;

^{30 Ref} Because we are parts of his body.

^{31 Ref} For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.

^{32 Ref} This is a great secret: but my words are about Christ and the church.

^{33 Ref} But do you, everyone, have love for his wife, even as for himself; and let the wife see that she has respect for her husband.

^{28 Ref} So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

^{29 Ref} For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

^{30 Ref} For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

^{31 Ref} 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.

^{32 Ref} This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

^{33 Ref} Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

^{28 Ref} Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:

^{29 Ref} for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church;

^{30 Ref} because we are members of his body.

^{31 Ref} For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.

^{32 Ref} This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church.

^{33 Ref} Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and `let' the wife `see' that she fear her husband.
