  **Show the text**

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

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

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

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

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

  30 because 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. The two will become one flesh.”

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

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

- Epistle · Church

  Hebrews 3:1–4

  **Show the text**

  1 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus,

  2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also Moses was in all his house.

  3 For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he who built the house has more honor than the house.

  4 For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.
