Mace(i)
22 let married women be submissive to their husbands, out of regard to the Lord.
23 for the husband presides over his wife, as Christ presides over the church: and he it is that preserves the whole body.
24 as the church then is subordinate to Christ, so let women be to their husbands upon all occasions.
25 You husband, love your spouse, even as Christ loved the church, and laid down his life for her:
26 to sanctify and purify her by the ablution of his word,
27 that he himself might make her appear illustrious to his own eye, a church without spot, or any thing like a defect; so as to be holy and irreprehensible.
28 in like manner ought men to love their wives, as their own bodies: "he that loves his wife, loveth himself."
29 no man was ever yet averse to his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as the Lord doth the church:
30 of which we are the several parts constituting his body.
31 the scripture says, "for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and they two shall be as one."
32 these words contain a very mystical sense, I mean in reference to Christ and the church.
33 wherefore let every one of you without exception, love his wife even as himself; and let the wife respect her husband.
6 1 Children, obey your christian parents: for this is the law.
2 the first commandment with a promise annexed, is, "honour thy father and mother,
3 that it may be well with thee, and thou mayst be long-lived on the earth."
4 and you fathers don't exasperate your children: but instruct them in the discipline and institution of the Lord.
5 Servants, be obedient to your legal masters, with awful reverence and sincerity of heart, as unto Christ:
6 not doing your work meerly out of regard to their presence or their pleasure, but as the servants of Christ, in hearty obedience to the will of God:
7 serve them with affection, as if it was to the Lord,
8 and not to men: considering that whatever good any man doth, he shall be rewarded for it by the Lord, whether he be a slave or free.
9 and you masters have a just regard to them, by softning your authority: knowing that both their and your master is in heaven, where there is no respect of persons with him.
