But the point remains that a husband must also love his wife, just as he loves himself, and a wife must respect her husband.
Wives, follow the lead of your own husbands as a way of following the Lord’s lead.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.
Husbands, love your wives and don’t be mean to them.
Besides, we’ve all had human fathers who disciplined us, and we obeyed them. So we should certainly obey the Father of spirits and benefit from his correction.
That is a great mystery, and I’m applying it here to Christ and the church.
