23 For the husband is the head of the Anno wife, even as Christ is the head of the DOMINI church: Band he is the saviour ẞ of 'the body.

24 13 Therefore 13 as the church is subject unto Christ, 14 so let the wives be 14 to their own husbands "in every thing.

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

27 That he might 18 present it to himself a glorious church 18, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives 19 as 19 their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
