22 你們作妻子的,當順服自己的丈夫,如同順服主。23 因為丈夫是妻子的頭,如同基督是教會的頭;他又是教會全體的救主。24 教會怎樣順服基督,妻子也要怎樣凡事順服丈夫。25 你們作丈夫的,要愛你們的妻子,正如基督愛教會,為教會捨己。
26 要用水藉著道,把教會洗淨,成為聖潔,27 可以獻給自己,作個榮耀的教會,毫無玷污、皺紋等類的病,乃是聖潔沒有瑕疵的。28 丈夫也當照樣愛妻子,如同愛自己的身子;愛妻子便是愛自己了。29 從來沒有人恨惡自己的身子,總是保養顧惜,正像基督待教會一樣,30 因我們是他身上的肢體。31 為這個緣故,人要離開父母,與妻子連合,二人成為一體。
32 這是極大的奧秘,但我是指著基督和教會說的。33 然而你們各人都當愛妻子,如同愛自己一樣。妻子也當敬重他的丈夫。
22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”
32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
