22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as
you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the
wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of
which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to
Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in
everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the
church and gave himself up for her
Eph 5:22-25

19. 5and you have [a]forgotten the divine word of encouragement which is
addressed to you as sons,
“MY SON, DO NOT MAKE LIGHT OF THE DISCIPLINE OF THE LORD,
AND DO NOT LOSE HEART and GIVE UP WHEN YOU ARE CORRECTED BY HIM;
6 FOR THE LORD DISCIPLINES and CORRECTS THOSE WHOM HE LOVES,
AND HE PUNISHES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES and WELCOMES [TO HIS
HEART].”7 You must submit to [correction for the purpose of] discipline;
God is dealing with you as with sons; for [b]what son is there whom his
father does not discipline? 8 Now if you are exempt from
correction and without discipline, in which all [of God’s children] share,
then you are illegitimate children and not sons [at all].
Hebrews 12:5-8
