005:023 For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is
the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.
005:024 But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives
also be to their own husbands in everything.
005:025 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly,
and gave himself up for it;
005:026 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing
of water with the word,
005:027 that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously,
not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it
should be holy and without blemish.
005:028 Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their
own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.
005:029 For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it,
even as the Lord also does the assembly;
005:030 because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.
005:031 "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother,
and will be joined to his wife. The two will become
one flesh."{Genesis 2:24}
005:032 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and
of the assembly.
005:033 Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself;
and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
006:001 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
006:002 "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment
with a promise:
006:003 "that it may be well with you, and you may live long on
the earth."{Deuteronomy 5:16}
006:004 You fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but nurture
them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
006:005 Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh
are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness
of your heart, as to Christ;
006:006 not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers;
but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
006:007 with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men;
006:008 knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive
the same again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.
006:009 You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening,
knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven,
and there is no partiality with him.
