"So, too, husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. "
— Ephesians 5:28, Catholic Public Domain Version
“So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.”
“Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself: ”
“Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.”
“In the same way husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.”
“So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.”
“Even so it is right for husbands to have love for their wives as for their bodies. He who has love for his wife has love for himself:”
“So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.”
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the Church and handed himself over for her,
so that he might sanctify her, washing her clean by water and the Word of life,
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.
So, too, husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
For no man has ever hated his own flesh, but instead he nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ also does to the Church.
For we are a part of his body, of his flesh and of his bones.
“For this reason, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife; and the two shall be as one flesh.”
