Ephesians 5:31 in Context — Ephesians 5

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.

31 Por isso o homem deixará oseu pai e [a sua] mãe, e se ajuntará com a sua mulher; e os dois serão uma [só] carne.

32 Esse é um grande mistério, mas estou dizendo quanto a Cristo e à Igreja.

33 Assim também vós, cada um individualmente, ame a sua própria esposa como a si mesmo, e a mulher respeite o marido.
