EPHESIANS 5:21-6:4
22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved
the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that
he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might
present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any
such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.28 In
the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who
loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever
hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the
church, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 “Therefore
a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the
two shall become one flesh.” 32 This mystery is
profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, let
each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that
she respects her husband 6:1Children, obey your parents
in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your
father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3 “that
it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” 4 Fathers,
do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline
and instruction of the Lord
