l2Cor
11:2 (NIV) I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to
one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as
a pure virgin to him.
lEphesians
5:23-25 (NIV) For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the
head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24

should submit to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands,
love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave
himself up for herÉ
