| 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. |
