of the wife, as also Christ
is the head of the church; he is the savior of the body. [5:24]But as
the church is subject to Christ, so also let wives be subject to
husbands in every thing. [5:25] Husbands, love your wives as Christ
also loved the church and gave himself for it, [5:26]that he might
sanctify it, purifying it with the washing of water with the word,
[5:27]that he might present the church to himself glorious, not having
a spot or wrinkle or any thing of the kind, but that it should be holy
and blameless. [5:28]Husbands ought to love their wives as their own
bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself; [5:29]for no one ever
hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ also the
church; [5:30]for we are members of his body. [5:31]For this cause a
man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and
they two shall be one flesh. [5:32]This is a great mystery; but I speak
of Christ and the church. [5:33]But do you also, individually, each one
so love his wife as himself, and the wife [see] that she reverences the
husband.

fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your hearts as to Christ,
[6:6]not with eye service as pleasing men, but as servants of Christ
doing the will of God from the heart, [6:7]performing service kindly as
to the Lord and not to men, [6:8] knowing that whatever good each one
does, for this he shall receive from the Lord, whether a servant or a
freeman. [6:9]And, masters, do the same things to them, forbearing
threatening, knowing also that their master and yours is in heaven, and
there is no respect of persons with him.

9 [6:10]Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.
[6:11] Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil; [6:12]for our conflict is not against
flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against
the potentates of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual
[hosts] of evil in the heavenly [worlds]. [6:13] Take therefore the
whole armor of God, that you m
