Ephesians 5:33

Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife [see] that she reverence [her] husband.

Nevertheless {G4133}{G2532} let {G25} every one {G1520}{G1538} of you {G5210} in particular {G2596} so {G3779} love {G25} his {G1438} wife {G1135} even as {G5613} himself {G1438}; and {G1161} the wife {G1135} see that {G2443} she reverence {G5399} her husband {G435}.

However, the text also applies to each of you individually: let each man love his wife as he does himself, and see that the wife respects her husband.

Nevertheless, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she fear her husband.
