He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one has ever hated his own body, but he feeds it and takes care of it, just as Christ also does the church, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. 32 This mystery is great– but I am actually speaking with reference to Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless, each one of you must also love his own wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

    11Her husband’s heart has trusted her, and he does not lack the dividends.

    12She has rewarded him with good and not harm all the days of her life.

    13She sought out wool and flax, then worked happily with her hands.

    14She was like the merchant ships; she would bring in her food from afar.

    15Then she rose while it was still night, and provided food for her household and a portion to her female servants.

    16She considered a field and bought it; from her own income she planted a vineyard.

    17She clothed herself in might, and she strengthened her arms.

    18She perceived that her merchandise was good. Her lamp would not go out in the night.

    19She extended her hands to the spool, and her hands grasped the spindle.

    20She opened her hand to the poor, and extended her hands to the needy.

    21She would not fear for her household in winter, because all of her household were clothed with scarlet,

    22because she had made coverings for herself; and because her clothing was fine linen and purple.

    23Her husband is well-known in the city gate when he sits with the elders of the land.

    24She made linen garments then sold them, and traded belts to the merchants;

    25her clothing was strong and splendid; and she laughed at the time to come.

    26She has opened her mouth with wisdom, with loving instruction on her tongue.

    27Watching over the ways of her household, she would not eat the bread of idleness.

    28Her children have risen and called her blessed; her husband also has praised her:

    29“Many daughters have done valiantly, but you have surpassed them all!”

    30Charm is deceitful and beauty is fleeting. A woman who fears the LORD– she makes herself praiseworthy.

    31Give her credit for what she has accomplished, and let her works praise her in the city gates.
