Ephesians 5:27-29
1599 Geneva Bible
27 That he might make it unto himself a glorious Church, [a]not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and without blame.
28 [b]So ought men to love their wives, as their own bodies: he that loveth his wife, loveth himself.
29 For no man ever yet hated his [c]own flesh, but nourished and cherisheth it, even as the Lord doth the Church.

- Ephesians 5:27 The Church, as it is considered in itself, shall not be without wrinkle, before it come to the mark it shooteth at: for while it is in this life, it runneth in a race: but if it be considered in Christ, it is clean and without wrinkle.
- Ephesians 5:28 Another argument: Every man loveth himself, even of nature: therefore he striveth against nature that loveth not his wife: he proveth the consequent, first by the mystical knitting of Christ and the Church together, and then by the ordinance of God, who saith, that man and wife are as one, that is, not to be divided.
- Ephesians 5:29 His own body.
