Ephesians 5:29
World English Bible (WEB)
For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly,
In context
27 that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she 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. Then the two will become one flesh.”
