Ihr Männer, liebet eure Weiber, gleichwie Christus auch geliebt hat die Gemeinde und hat sich selbst für sie gegeben,
Maridos, amad a vuestras mujeres, así como Cristo amó a la iglesia, y se entregó a sí mismo por ella,
Esposos, amen a sus esposas, como también Cristo amó a la iglesia y se entregó a sí mismo por ella,
Maris, aimez vos femmes, comme Christ a aimé l'Eglise, et s'est livré lui-même pour elle,
