Ephesians 5:21-6:4

²¹Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

          22Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.
          23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior.
          24Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

          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.

          1Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
          2“Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise),
          3“that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on the earth.”

⁴Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
