The husbands ! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,
Husbands , love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her

but ye also , every one in particular -- let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife -- that she may reverence the husband.
Nevertheless , each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
