Dwell With Understanding

25 ^(A)Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and ^(B)gave Himself up for her, 26 ^(C)so that He might sanctify her, having ^(D)cleansed her by the ^(E)washing of water with ^(F)the Word, 27 that He might ^(G)present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be ^(H)holy and blameless.

28 So husbands ought also to ^(I)love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; 29 for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, 30 because we are ^(J)members of His ^(K)body.

31 ^(L)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.

32 This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church.

33 Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to ^(M)love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she ^(N)respects her husband.

-Ephesians 5:25-33
