Ephesians 5:29 in Context — Ephesians 5
27 afin de faire paraître devant lui cette Église glorieuse, sans tache, ni ride, ni rien de semblable, mais sainte et irrépréhensible.
28 C’est ainsi que les maris doivent aimer leurs femmes comme leurs propres corps. Celui qui aime sa femme s’aime lui-même.
29 Car jamais personne n’a haï sa propre chair; mais il la nourrit et en prend soin, comme Christ le fait pour l’Église,
30 parce que nous sommes membres de son corps.
31 C’est pourquoi l’homme quittera son père et sa mère, et s’attachera à sa femme, et les deux deviendront une seule chair.
