Paul showed this when he said: “Husbands ought to be loving their wives as their own bodies.... No man ever hated his own flesh; but he feeds and cherishes it. ”
Paulus osutas sellele, öeldes: „Nõnda peavad mehedki omi naisi armastama nagu iseenese ihu.... ükski ei ole iialgi vihanud iseenese liha, vaid igaüks toidab ja hoiab seda ”.
