For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body.
All Commentaries on Ephesians 5:23 Go To Ephesians 5
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
For the husband is the head of the wife. Though St. Paul here speaks of a man, who is a husband, we may rather translate man than husband, being the same sentence and same words as 1 Corinthians xi. 3. where even the Protestant translation has, that the man is head of the woman.
He (Christ) is the saviour of his mystical body, the Church: though some expound it, that the husband is to save and take care of his wife, who is as it were his body. (Witham)
