Ephesians 5:25

⁷You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman as to the weaker vessel, as also being joint heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.

¹⁹Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.

²⁸Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

²⁴Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.

³³Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

²Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

⁴who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father—

²⁰I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.

¹⁸Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth. ¹⁹A loving doe and a graceful deer— let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Be captivated always with her love.

²⁸even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
