Ephesians 5:29

← Ephesians 5:28	Ephesians 5:29 (KJV)	Ephesians 5:30 →
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:	For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
