| 5:21 | Be subject to one another in the fear of Christ. |
| 5:22 | Wives should be submissive to their husbands, as to the Lord. |
| 5:23 | For the husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the Church. He is the Savior of his body. |
| 5:24 | Therefore, just as the Church is subject to Christ, so also should wives be subject to their husbands in all things. |
| 5:25 | Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the Church and handed himself over for her, |
| 5:26 | so that he might sanctify her, washing her clean by water and the Word of life, |
| 5:27 | so that he might offer her to himself as a glorious Church, not having any spot or wrinkle or any such thing, so that she would be holy and immaculate. |
| 5:28 | So, too, husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. |
| 5:29 | For no man has ever hated his own flesh, but instead he nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ also does to the Church. |
| 5:30 | For we are a part of his body, of his flesh and of his bones. |
| 5:31 | “For this reason, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife; and the two shall be as one flesh.” |
| 5:32 | This is a great Sacrament. And I am speaking in Christ and in the Church. |
| 5:33 | Yet truly, each and every one of you should love his wife as himself. And a wife should fear her husband. |
