Ephes. 5 : 22-33 ; 6 : 1-9 : " Wives, submit yourselves 

 unto your own husbands, as U7ito the Lord. For the hus- 

 band is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head ol 

 the church : and he is the Saviour of the body. Therefore 

 as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to 

 their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your 

 ivives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave him- 

 self for it ; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the 

 washing of water by the word, that he might present it to 

 himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or 

 any such thing ; but that it should be holy and without 

 blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own 

 bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself For no 

 man ever yet hated his own flesh ; but nourisheth and chcr- 

 isheth it, even as the Lord the church : for we are members 

 of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause 

 shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined 

 unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is 

 a great mystery : but I speak concerning Christ and the 

 church. Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular so 

 love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she 

 reverence her husband. Children, obey yowr 'parents in 

 the Lord : for this is right. Honor thy father and mother
