Ephesians 5:19-29 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
19
Then you will sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, making music to the Lord in your hearts.
20
And you will always give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
21
And further, you will submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22
You wives will submit to your husbands as you do to the Lord.
23
For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of his body, the church; he gave his life to be her Savior.
24
As the church submits to Christ, so you wives must submit to your husbands in everything.
25
And you husbands must love your wives with the same love Christ showed the church. He gave up his life for her
26
to make her holy and clean, washed by baptism and God's word. a
27
He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault.
28
In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man is actually loving himself when he loves his wife.
29
No one hates his own body but lovingly cares for it, just as Christ cares for his body, which is the church.
