Ephesians 5:28
_ _ Translate, “So ought husbands also (thus the oldest manuscripts read) to love their own (compare Note, see on Ephesians 5:22) wives as their own bodies.”
_ _ He that loveth his wife loveth himself — So there is the same love and the same union of body between Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:30, Ephesians 5:32). |
Ephesians 5:28
As their own bodies — That is, as themselves. He that loveth his wife loveth himself — Which is not a sin, but an indisputable duty. |
Ephesians 5:28
(14) So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
(14) Another argument: every man loves himself, even by nature: therefore he strives against nature that does not love his wife. He proves the conclusion, first by the mystical knitting of Christ and the Church together, and then by the ordinance of God, who says that man and wife are as one, that is, not to be divided. |
- as:
Ephesians 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
Ephesians 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife [see] that she reverence [her] husband.
Genesis 2:21-24 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; ... Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Matthew 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
