Ephesians 5:23

Compare all

21 ^asubmitting to one another in the fear of¹ God.

Marriage—Christ and the Church

22 Wives, ^asubmit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

23 For ^athe husband is head of the wife, as also ^bChrist is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.

24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands ^ain everything.

25 ^aHusbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and ^bgave Himself for her,

26 that He might¹ sanctify and cleanse her ^awith the washing of water ^bby the word,

27 ^athat He might present her to Himself a glorious church, ^bnot having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.

29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.
