Ephesians 5

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

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;

World English Bible (WEB)

28 Ref Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

29 Ref For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;

30 Ref because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

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.
