Ephesians 5:33

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

So each husband should love his wife as much as he loves himself, and each wife should respect her husband.

See the chapter Copy

Bathsheba bowed with her face to the ground and said, “Your Majesty, I pray that you will live a long time!”

When the women in your great kingdom hear about this new law, they will respect their husbands, no matter if they are rich or poor.

The king is your husband, so do what he desires.

A wife should put her husband first, as she does the Lord.

A husband should love his wife as much as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it.

This is a great mystery, but I understand it to mean Christ and his church.

A husband must love his wife and not abuse her.

Our earthly fathers correct us, and we still respect them. Isn't it even better to be given true life by letting our spiritual Father correct us?
