But practicing the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ, who is the head.

For everything made evident is light, and for this reason it says: “Awake, O sleeper! Rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you!”

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.

and live in love, just as Christ also loved us and gave himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God.

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

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,
