1 Bee yee therefore followers of God, as deare children,
ⲁ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲛⲧⲱⲛ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ
2 And walke in loue, euen as Christ hath loued vs, and hath giuen himselfe for vs, to be an offering and a sacrifice of a sweete smellling sauour to God.

3 But fornication, and all vncleannesse, or couetousnesse, let it not be once named among you, as it becommeth Saintes,

23 For the husband is the wiues head, euen as Christ is the head of the Church, and the same is the sauiour of his body.

24 Therfore as the Church is in subiection to Christ, euen so let the wiues be to their husbands in euery thing.

26 That hee might sanctifie it, and clense it by the washing of water through the worde,

27 That hee might make it vnto him selfe a glorious Church, not hauing spot or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it shoulde bee holy and without blame.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲧⲁϩⲉ ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲥ ⲉⲥⲧⲁⲓⲏⲩ ⲉⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛϫⲱϩⲙ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲏ ⲧⲱⲗⲙ ⲏ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲧⲧⲱⲗⲙ
28 So ought men to loue their wiues, as their owne bodies: he that loueth his wife, loueth him selfe.

29 For no man euer yet hated his owne flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, euen as the Lord doeth the Church.

31 For this cause shall a man leaue father and mother, and shall cleaue to his wife, and they twaine shalbe one flesh.
