The Bride of Christ, His Church

"Here at length I beheld the two-fold mystery of
love, that the Bride is both of Christ and in Christ.
For as God took Eve from out of the side of Adam,
that she might be joined to him again in marriage,
even so He frameth His Church out of the very
flesh, the very wounded and bleeding side of the
Son of man, so that in faith he might 'present her
[us] as chaste virgin to Christ'."

2 Corinthians 11:2 "For I am jealous over you with
godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one
husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin
to Christ."
