^{28 Ref} so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife -- himself he doth love;

^{29 Ref} for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord -- the assembly,

^{30 Ref} because members we are 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 to his wife, and they shall be -- the two -- for one flesh;'

^{32 Ref} this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly;

^{33 Ref} but ye also, every one in particular -- let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife -- that she may reverence the 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.
