783.教会是主的,由于善与真之间的属灵婚姻,所以主被叫做新郎和丈夫,教会被叫做新娘和妻子。基督徒通过圣言皆熟知这一点,尤其通过以下经文,即约翰论及主的话:
娶新妇的就是新郎,新郎的朋友站着听见新郎的声音就甚喜乐,故此我这喜乐满足了。(约翰福音3:29)
耶稣说,只要新郎与宾客在一起,宾客就不会哀痛。(马太福音9:15;马可福音2:19-20;路加福音5:34-35)
我看见圣城,新耶路撒冷,由神那里从天而降,预备好了,就如新妇妆饰整齐,等候丈夫。(启示录21:2)
天使对约翰说:你来,我要把新娘,就是羔羊的妻,指示你,他从山上把圣城耶路撒冷指示他。(启示录21:9-10)
因为羔羊婚娶的时候到了,新妇也自己预备好了。凡被请赴羔羊之婚筵的有福了。(启示录19:7,9)
我是大卫的根,又是他的后裔。我是明亮的晨星。圣灵和新妇都说:“来!”口渴的人也当来;愿意的,都可以白白取生命的水喝。(启示录22:16-17)

Jesus said, "As long as the bridegroom is with them, the children of the wedding cannot fast. " (Matthew 9:15; Mark 2:19-20; Luke 5:35)
I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (Revelation 21:2)
The angel said to John, "Come. I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb," and from a mountain he showed him the holy city Jerusalem. (Revelation 21:9-10)

"I am the Root and the Offspring of David, a shining morning star. " The spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And those who are thirsty, come. Those who wish to, take the water of life freely. (Revelation 22:16-17)

Quod Ecclesia sit Domini, et quod ex Conjugio Spirituali quod est Boni et Veri, Dominus dicatur Sponsus et Maritus, et Ecclesia Sponsa et Uxor, notum est Christianis ex Verbo, apprimis ex his ibi; 1 Johannes de Domino dixit, "Qui 2 habet SPONSAM SPONSUS est, amicus autem SPONSI est, qui stat et audit Ipsum, gaudet ob vocem SPONSI, Johannes 3:29. Jesus dixit, quamdiu cum illis est SPONSUS, non possunt FILII NUPTIARUM jejunare, Matthaeus 9:15; Marcus 2:19-20; Luca 5:34-35. Vidi Urbem sanctam Hierosolymam novam descendentem a Deo e Coelo, paratam sicut SPONSAM ORNATAM MARITO SUO, Apocalypsis 21:2. Angelus dixit ad Johannem, veni et ostendam tibi SPONSAM AGNI UXOREM, et e Monte ostendit illi Urbem Sanctam Hierosolymam, Apocalypsis 21:9-10. 3 Venit tempus NUPTIARUM AGNI, et UXOR IPSIUS paravit se; beati qui ad COENAM NUPTIARUM AGNI vocati sunt, Apocalypsis 19:7, 9. Ego sum Radix et Genus Davidis, Stella splendida et matutina, SPIRITUS ET SPONSA dicunt, veni; et qui sitit, venito; et qui vult, sumito 4 aqua vitae gratis," Apocalypsis 22:16-17.
