    22 Wives, [be in subjection] unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

    23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, [being] himself the saviour of the body.

    24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so [let] the wives also [be] to their husbands in everything.

    28 Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:

    29 for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church;

    30 because we are members of his body.
