Ephesians 5:28-33 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

28. Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:

29. for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church;

30. because we are members of his body.

31. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the twain shall become one flesh.

32. This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church.

33. Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she fear her husband.
