In the same way husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

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,

Nevertheless, each one of you must also love his own wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

From him the whole body grows, fitted and held together through every supporting ligament. As each one does its part, the body grows in love.
