Ephesians 5:28

28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

Ver. 28. As their own bodies ] No man may hide himself from his own flesh at large, Isaiah 58:7 , that is, from his neighbour of the same stock; much less from a wife, which is such another as himself, Genesis 2:18 , nay, his very self, as here.
