Ephesians 5:20

Ephesians 5:20

18 And ^ado not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,

19 speaking to one another ^ain psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making ^bmelody in your heart to the Lord,

20 ^agiving thanks always for all things to God the Father ^bin the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

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,
