²¹subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.

²²Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

²³For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.

²⁴But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.

²⁵Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for her,

²⁶that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,

²⁷that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without defect.

²⁸Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

²⁹For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly,

³⁰because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.

³¹"For this cause a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife. Then the two will become one flesh."

³²This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and the assembly.

³³Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

¹Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways.

²For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.

³Your wife will be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house, your children like olive shoots around your table.

⁴Behold, this is how the man who fears the LORD is blessed.

⁵May the LORD bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

¹⁸He said, "What is God's Kingdom like? To what shall I compare it?

¹⁹It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his own garden. It grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky live in its branches."

²⁰Again he said, "To what shall I compare God's Kingdom?

²¹It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened."
