Ephesians 5:25-33

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Ephesians 5:25-33

          25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her
          26to sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
          27and to present her to Himself as a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle or any such blemish, but holy and blameless.

          28In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
          29Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.
          30For we are members of His body.

          31“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
          32This mystery is profound, but I am speaking about Christ and the church.
          33Nevertheless, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
