¶Husbands. Ephe. v
¶Husbandes. Ephe. v
¶Husbands love your wives even as Christ loved the congregation / and gave him self for it to sanctify it and cleansed it in the fountain of water through the word / to make it unto him self / a glorious congregation with out spot or wrinkle / or any such thing. So ought men to love their wives / as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife / loveth him self. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh / but nourished it, &c.
¶Husbandes loue your wyues euen as Chryst loued the congregacyon / and gaue hym selfe for it to sanctyfy it and clensed it in the foūtayne of water thorowe the worde / to make it vnto hym selfe / a gloryous congregacyon with out spot or wrencle / or any suche thinge. So ought men to loue theyr wyues / as theyr owne bodyes. He that loueth his wyfe / loueth hym selfe. For no man euer yet hated his owne flesshe / but norrysshed it, &c.
