SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:28
Así tambin los maridos deben amar a sus mujeres como a sus mismos cuerpos. El que ama a su mujer, a sí mismo se ama.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ephesians 5:28
Verse 28. As their own bodies] For the woman is, properly speaking, a part of the man; for God made man male and female, and the woman was taken out of his side; therefore is she flesh of his flesh, and bone of his bone; and therefore, he that loveth his wife loveth himself, for they two are one flesh. The apostle, in all these verses, refers to the creation and original state of the first human pair.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 28. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies , &c.] It is a common saying with the Jews, that a man's wife is wpwgk , as his own body f65 ; and it is one of the precepts of their wise men, that a man should honour his wife more than his body, wpwgk hbhaw , and love her as his body f66 ; for as they also say, they are but one body f67 ; the apostle seems to speak in the language of his countrymen; however, his doctrine and theirs agree in this point: wherefore he that loveth his wife loveth himself ; because she is one body and flesh with him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-33 - The duty of wives is, submission to their husbands in the Lord, whic includes honouring and obeying them, from a principle of love to them The duty of husbands is to love their wives. The love of Christ to the church is an example, which is sincere, pure, and constant notwithstanding her failures. Christ gave himself for the church, tha he might sanctify it in this world, and glorify it in the next, that he might bestow on all his members a principle of holiness, and delive them from the guilt, the pollution, and the dominion of sin, by thos influences of the Holy Spirit, of which baptismal water was the outwar sign. The church and believers will not be without spot or wrinkle til they come to glory. But those only who are sanctified now, shall be glorified hereafter. The words of Adam, mentioned by the apostle, ar spoken literally of marriage; but they have also a hidden sense in them, relating to the union between Christ and his church. It was kind of type, as having resemblance. There will be failures and defect on both sides, in the present state of human nature, yet this does no alter the relation. All the duties of marriage are included in unit and love. And while we adore and rejoice in the condescending love of Christ, let husbands and wives learn hence their duties to each other Thus the worst evils would be prevented, and many painful effects woul be avoided __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies
28. So. As Christ loved the Church.
As their own bodies (wv). As being: since they are.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
5:28 {Even so ought} (houtws ofeilousin). As Christ loves the church (his body). And yet some people actually say that Paul in #1Co 7 gives a degrading view of marriage. How can one say that after reading #Eph 5:22-33 where the noblest picture of marriage ever drawn is given?
