Ephesians 05:22 .. wives .. be subject to your own husbands .. as to the Lord 05:23 .. for the husband is the head of the wife .. as Christ also is the head of the church .. he himself being the Savior of the body 05:24 .. but as the church is subject to Christ .. so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything
05:25 .. husbands .. love your wives .. just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself up for her 05:26 .. so that he might sanctify her .. having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word 05:27 .. that he might present to himself the church in all her glory .. having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing .. ......... but that she would be holy and blameless 05:28 .. so husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies .. he who loves his own wife loves himself 05:29 .. for no one ever hated his own flesh .. but nourishes and cherishes it .. just as Christ also does the church 05:30 .. because we are members of his body 05:31 .. for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife .. and the two shall become one flesh 05:32 .. this mystery is great .. but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church 05:33 .. nevertheless .. each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself .. ......... and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband
Ephesians 06:01 .. children .. obey your parents in the Lord .. for this is right 06:02 .. honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise) 06:03 .. so that it may be well with you .. and that you may live long on the earth 06:04 .. fathers .. do not provoke your children to anger .. but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord
