Ephesians 5:25,33
Ephesians 5:25 New International Version (NIV)
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
Ephesians 5:33 New International Version (NIV)
However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Ephesians 5:25 New King James Version (NKJV)
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her
Ephesians 5:33 New King James Version (NKJV)
Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
Ephesians 5:25-28 The Message (MSG)
Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church—a love marked by giving, not getting. Christ’s love makes the church whole. His words evoke her beauty. Everything he does and says is designed to bring the best out of her, dressing her in dazzling white silk, radiant with holiness. And that is how husbands ought to love their wives. They’re really doing themselves a favor—since they’re already “one” in marriage.
Ephesians 5:29-33 The Message (MSG)
No one abuses his own body, does he? No, he feeds and pampers it. That’s how Christ treats us, the church, since we are part of his body. And this is why a man leaves father and mother and cherishes his wife. No longer two, they become “one flesh.” This is a huge mystery, and I don’t pretend to understand it all. What is clearest to me is the way Christ treats the church. And this provides a good picture of how each husband is to treat his wife, loving himself in loving her, and how each wife is to honor her husband.
Ephesians 5:25 King James Version (KJV)
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it

Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

Husbands, love your wives [seek the highest good for her and surround her with a caring, unselfish love], just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her
Ephesians 5:33 Amplified Bible (AMP)
However, each man among you [without exception] is to love his wife as his very own self [with behavior worthy of respect and esteem, always seeking the best for her with an attitude of lovingkindness], and the wife [must see to it] that she respects and delights in her husband [that she notices him and prefers him and treats him with loving concern, treasuring him, honoring him, and holding him dear]. [1 Pet 3:2]
