Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

Ephesians 5
²⁷ He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault.
²⁸ In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself.
²⁹ No one hates his own body but feeds and cares for it, just as Christ cares for the church.
³⁰ And we are members of his body.
³¹ As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.”
³² This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one.
³³ So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Ephesians 6
¹ Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do.
² “Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise:
³ If you honor your father and mother, “things will go well for you, and you will have a long life on the earth.”
⁴ Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord.
