5:22 Wives, submit ²  to your husbands as to the Lord, 5:23 because the husband is the head of the wife as also Christ is the head of the church – he himself being the savior of the body. 5:24 But as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. 5:25 Husbands, love your ³  wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her 5:26 to sanctify her by cleansing her ⁴  with the washing of the water by the word, 5:27 so that he ⁵  may present the church to himself as glorious – not having a stain or wrinkle, or any such blemish, but holy and blameless. ⁶  5:28 In the same way ⁷  husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 5:29 For no one has ever hated his own body ⁸  but he feeds it and takes care of it, just as Christ also does the church, 5:30 for we are members of his body. ⁹  5:31 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become ¹⁰  one flesh. ¹¹  5:32 This mystery is great – but I am actually ¹²  speaking with reference to Christ and the church. 5:33 Nevertheless, ¹³  each one of you must also love his own wife as he loves himself, ¹⁴  and the wife must ¹⁵  respect ¹⁶  her husband.

6:1 Children, ¹⁷  obey your parents in the Lord ¹⁸  for this is right. 6:2 “Honor your father and mother,” ¹⁹  which is the first commandment accompanied by a promise, namely, 6:3 “that it may go ²⁰  well with you and that you will live ²¹  a long time on the earth.” ²² 

6:4 Fathers, ²³  do not provoke your children to anger, ²⁴  but raise them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
