Ephesians 5:26-28
New English Translation

26 to sanctify her by cleansing her[a] with the washing of the water by the word, 27 so that he[b] may present the church to himself as glorious—not having a stain or wrinkle, or any such blemish, but holy and blameless.[c] 28 In the same way[d] husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
