Jiu-baang zoux Giduc nyei sin, Giduc yaac zoux jiu-baang nyei Njoux Ziouv.

21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23 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 Jiu-baang hnangv haaix nor mbuoqc Giduc, auv yaac oix zuqc hnangv wuov nor yiem maanc sic mbuoqc ninh nyei nqox. 25 Zoux nqox nyei mienh aah! Oix zuqc hnamv ganh nyei auv hnangv Giduc hnamv jiu-baang, yaac weic jiu-baang siev ninh nyei maengc. .

24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.

26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

28 Fih hnangv nyei, nqox oix zuqc hnamv ganh nyei auv hnangv hnamv ganh nyei sin nor. Haaix dauh hnamv ganh nyei auv ziouc hnamv ninh ganh aqv. 29

Maiv maaih haaix dauh nzorng ganh nyei sin, zungv uix longx yaac goux jienv hnangv Giduc goux jiu-baang wuov nor.

28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. :29 After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church.

30 Weic zuqc mbuo dauh dauh zoux Giduc nyei sin nyei yietc nyungc. 31 Hnangv Ging-Sou fiev jienv gorngv naaiv joux waac, "Weic naaiv m'jangc dorn dorng jaa, leih ninh nyei diex maac, caux jienv ninh nyei auv benx yietc dauh mi'aqv."

5:30 for we are members of his body. 31 "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."

32 Yiem naaiv deix waac gu'nyuoz maaih diuh hlo haic nyei zien leiz ih zanc mbiaangx yaangh cuotv daaih aqv.

Meih mbuo dauh dauh zoux nqox nyei mienh oix zuqc hnamv ganh nyei auv hnangv hnamv ganh nor. Auv yaac oix zuqc taaih ganh nyei nqox.

32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
