Famous quotes containing the word church:
“Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, be subject to your husbands as you are to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife just as Christ is the head of the church, the body of which he is the Savior. Just as the church is subject to Christ, so also wives ought to be, in everything, to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her...”
—Bible: New Testament, Ephesians 5:21-25.
“Place before your eyes two Precepts, and two only. One is, Preach the Gospel; and the other is—Put down enthusiasm! ... The Church of England in a nutshell.”
—Humphrey, Mrs. Ward (1851–1920)
“I have a good eye, uncle; I can see a church by daylight.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
