5:22 Married couples
22 [ref]Wives should place themselves under their own husbands, just like they’re under the master, 23 because the husband is the leader of the wife just like the messiah is the head and saviour of his body, the church. 24 Wives should place themselves under their husbands in everything just like the church should place itself under the messiah.
25 [ref]You husbands must love your wives, just like the messiah loved the church and gave himself completely for it, 26 so that he could separate the church from the world and wash it clean with the water of the good message 27 in order to present the splendid church to himself—without any stains or wrinkles or anything like that—just pure and unblemished. 28 So husbands should love their wives just like their own bodies—anyone who loves his wife is loving himself. 29 No one hates their own body, but they feed and look after it, just like the messiah does for the church 30 and we are parts of his body. 31 [ref]That’s the reason why a man leaves his father and mother and becomes joined with his wife and the two of them become one unit. 32 This is an amazing mystery but I’m talking about the messiah and the church. 33 But it applies to you all: each one of you should love your wife like yourself and the wife should respect her husband.
