Ephesians 5:33

James Moffatt - New Testament

However, let every man of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife reverence her husband.

See the chapter Copy

Wives, be subject to your husbands as to the Lord,

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her

Husbands, love your wives, do not be harsh to them.

Why, we had fathers of our flesh to discipline us, and we yielded to them! Shall we not far more submit to the Father of our spirits, and so live?

This is a profound symbol, I mean as regards Christ and the church.
