- 30because we are members of his body.
- 31For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.
- 32This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church.
- 33Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she fear her husband.
