Οὕτως ὀφείλουσιν οἱ ἄνδρες ἀγαπᾷν τὰς ἑαυτῶν γυναῖκας ὡς τὰ ἑαυτῶν σώματα. Ὁ ἀγαπῶν τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα, ἑαυτὸν ἀγαπᾷ·
RBT Translation:
ὀφείλουσιν - owing, indebted, obliged to pay
In this way the Males are indebted to agape-love the Women of their own selves, just as the Bodies of their own selves; the one who agape-loves the Woman of his own self, his own self he is agape-loving.
Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
So ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He loving his wife, loves himself.
LITV Translation:
So, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies, (he loving his wife loves himself),
