²⁹Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.

³⁰For 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.”

³²This mystery is profound, but I am speaking about Christ and the church.
