Ephesians 5:29

For no one has ever hated his own body ¹  but he feeds it and takes care of it, just as Christ also does the church,

After all, no-one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church—

for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church,

No one hates his own body but lovingly cares for it, just as Christ cares for his body, which is the church.

No one abuses his own body, does he? No, he feeds and pampers it. That's how Christ treats us, the church,

For no man ever had hate for his flesh; but he gives it food and takes care of it, even as Christ does for the church;

For no one ever hates his own body, but he nourishes and tenderly cares for it, just as Christ does for the church,

For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.

For no one has ever hated his own body ¹  but he feeds it and takes care of it, just as Christ also does the church,
