Verse 28

New King James Version

So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.

• So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies

It is a common saying with the Jews, that a man's wife is (wpwgk), "as his own body"; and it is one of the precepts of their wise men, that a man should honour his wife more than his body, (wpwgk hbhaw), and "love her as his body"; for as they also say, they are but one body; the apostle seems to speak in the language of his countrymen; however, his doctrine and theirs agree in this point: wherefore

• he that loveth his wife loveth himself;

because she is one body and flesh with him.
