Ephesians 5:28 in Context — Ephesians 5

26 Para santificarla limpiándola en el lavacro del agua por la palabra,

27 Para presentársela gloriosa para sí, una iglesia que no tuviese mancha ni arruga, ni cosa semejante; sino que fuese santa y sin mancha.

28 Así también los maridos deben amar á sus mujeres como á sus mismos cuerpos. El que ama á su mujer, á sí mismo se ama.

29 Porque ninguno aborreció jamás á su propia carne, antes la sustenta y regala, como también Cristo á la iglesia;

30 Porque somos miembros de su cuerpo, de su carne y de sus huesos.
