Ephesians 5:26
Compare all
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.
30 For awe are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.

Ephesians 5:26

That he might sanctify it through the word - The ordinary channel of all blessings. Having cleansed it - From the guilt and power of sin. By the washing of water - In baptism; if, with "the outward and visible sign," we receive the "inward and spiritual grace."
