Ephesians 5:28-30
1599 Geneva Bible
28 [a]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 [b]own flesh, but nourished and cherisheth it, even as the Lord doth the Church.
30 For we are members of his body, [c]of his flesh, and of his bones.

- Ephesians 5:29 His own body.
- Ephesians 5:30 He alludeth to the making of the woman, which signifieth our coupling together with Christ, which is wrought by faith, but is sealed by the Sacrament of the Supper.
