In Ephesians 5:33 we read:



PLHN KAI UMEIS OI KAQ ENA THN EAUTOU GUNAIKA OUTWS AGAPATW WS EAUTON
(Please forgive any errors)

My first inclination was to read this as, "indeed, even you, who are of the 
One, each of you must love his wife as himself"

I am reading KAQ ENA much as we read KATA PNUEMA.  My reason for doing so 
has to do with larger context.  The author has been emphasizing a diversity 
within unity in the Godhead, in the faith, in the church and now in the 
family (This argument would begin with chapter 4 of
Ephesians).

Nonetheless, I cannot find anyone else who is translating this verse in this 
way, so I assume I am missing some point of grammar.  Please set me right.
