1 Corinthians 1:4-8
Thanksgiving
1:4 I always thank my God for you because of the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus.
1:5 For you were made rich in every way in him, in all your speech and in every kind of knowledge –
1:6 just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed among you –
1:7 so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1:8 He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 5:25-33
5:25 Husbands, love your
wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her
5:26 to sanctify her by cleansing her
with the washing of the water by the word,
5:27 so that he
may present the church to himself as glorious – not having a stain or wrinkle, or any such blemish, but holy and blameless.
5:28 In the same way
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
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.
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 one flesh.
5:32 This mystery is great – but I am actually
speaking with reference to Christ and the church.
5:33 Nevertheless,
each one of you must also love his own wife as he loves himself,
and the wife must
respect
her husband.

in this way at one time, when you used to live among them.
