Wives and Husbands
22zWives, asubmit to your own husbands, bas to the Lord. 23For cthe husband is the head of the wife even as dChrist is the head of the church, his body, and is ehimself its Savior. 24Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit fin everything to their husbands.
25gHusbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and hgave himself up for her, 26that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by ithe washing of water jwith the word, 27so kthat he might present the church to himself in splendor, lwithout spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.1 28In the same way mhusbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30because nwe are members of his body. 31o“Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and pthe two shall become one flesh.” 32This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33However, qlet each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she rrespects her husband.

Children and Parents
1sChildren, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2t“Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3“that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” 4Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, ubut bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Bondservants and Masters
5vBondservants,1 obey your earthly masters2 with fear and trembling, wwith a sincere heart, xas you would Christ, 6not by the way of eye-service, as ypeople-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 7rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man, 8zknowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord, awhether he is a bondservant or is free. 9Masters, do the same to them, band stop your threatening, knowing that che who is both their Master3 and yours is in heaven, and that dthere is no partiality with him.
