Wives and Husbands

22Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.

23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.

24Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her26to make her holy, cleansingOr having cleansed her by the washing with water through the word,27and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.28In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.29After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church–30for we are members of his body.31“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”Gen. 2:2432This is a profound mystery–but I am talking about Christ and the church.33However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

for there is only one church founded by Christ, he is the head and responsible of saving of his memebers. Christ is the head and faithfull is the body. Col 1:18. so therefore is very important to know that church which we belong is founded by jesus or founded by other person, that he asure us to save couse he is the head of the church he found. the true is that for there is only one church (Mat 16:18) I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH is singular in form and that church will last till the end of time coz he promise accompany his oun churc (Mat 28:20). therefore the church is still alive since the time he founded until this day. And no other church except the true church which is the pillar and ground of the truth C1 tem 3:15)and his church is unfalliable (Mat 16:19) the who authorize to teach (Mat 28:20)
