Ephesians 5:28-33 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

28. So [also] husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

29. For no one hates his own flesh but rather nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ does the church,

30. because we are members of his body.

31. “For this reason a man shall leave [his] father and [his] motherand be joined to his wife,and the two shall become one flesh.”

32. This is a great mystery, but I speak in reference to Christ and the church.

33. In any case, each one of you should love his wife as himself, and the wife should respect her husband.
