Ephesians 5:28 in Context — Ephesians 5

26 a fim de a santificar, havendo [a] purificado com a lavagem com água, pela palavra,

27 a fim de apresentar a si mesmo uma igreja gloriosa, sem mancha, nem ruga, nem algo semelhante; mas sim, santa e irrepreensível.

28 Assim os maridos devem amar as suas próprias esposas como os seus próprios corpos. Quem ama a sua esposa, ama a si mesmo;

29 pois ninguém jamais odiou a sua própria carne; mas a alimenta e sustenta, assim como também o Senhor à Igreja.

30 pois somos membros de seu corpo, da sua carne, e dos seus ossos.
