Ephesians 5:28 CPDV

²⁶  so that he might sanctify her, washing her clean by water and the Word of life,

²⁷  so that he might offer her to himself as a glorious Church, not having any spot or wrinkle or any such thing, so that she would be holy and immaculate.

²⁸  So, too, husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

²⁹  For no man has ever hated his own flesh, but instead he nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ also does to the Church.

³⁰  For we are a part of his body, of his flesh and of his bones.
