Ephesians 5:22-3322

For wives, this means submit to yourhusbands as to the Lord. 23 For a husband

is the head of his wife as Christ is thehead of the church. He is the Savior of Hisbody, the church. 24 As the church submits toChrist, so you wives should submit to your

husbands in everything. 25 For husbands, thismeans love your wives, just as Christloved the church. He gave up his life for


12/26

her26 to make her holy and clean, washed bythe cleansing of Gods Word. 27 He did this to

present her to himself as a glorious churchwithout a spot or wrinkle or any otherblemish. Instead, she will be holy and

without fault. 28 In the same way, husbandsought to love their wives as they love theirown bodies. For a man who loves his wife

actually shows love for himself. 29 No onehates his own body but feeds and caresfor it, just as Christ cares for the church.

30 And we are members of his body.


13/26

31 As the Scriptures say, A man leaves hisfather and mother and is joined to his wife,

and the two are united into one. 32 This is agreat mystery, but it is an illustration of theway Christ and the church are one. 33 So

again I say, each man must love his wifeas he loves himself, and the wife must

respect her husband.
