Also sollen auch die Männer ihre Weiber lieben wie ihre eigenen Leiber. Wer sein Weib liebt, der liebt sich selbst.
Así también los maridos deben amar a sus mujeres como a sus mismos cuerpos. El que ama a su mujer, a sí mismo se ama.
Así también los esposos deben amar a sus propias esposas como a sus propios cuerpos. El que ama a su esposa se ama a sí mismo,
C'est ainsi que les maris doivent aimer leurs femmes comme leurs propres corps. Celui qui aime sa femme s'aime lui-même.
Così debbono i mariti amare le loro mogli, come i lor propri corpi: chi ama la sua moglie ama sè stesso.
Assim devem os maridos amar as suas próprias mulheres, como a seus próprios corpos. Quem ama a sua mulher, ama-se a si mesmo.
丈夫也應當照樣愛妻子,如同愛自己的身體;愛妻子就是愛自己了。
