← Ephesians 5:27	Ephesians 5:28 (KJV)	Ephesians 5:29 →
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.	So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.	For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
