19 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and chanting with your heart to the Lord;
19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord,
20 giving thanks at all times for all things to him [who is] God and [the] Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

22 Wives, [submit yourselves] to your own husbands, as to the Lord,

23 for a husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly. *He* [is] Saviour of the body.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
24 But even as the assembly is subjected to the Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything.
24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your own wives, even as the Christ also loved the assembly, and has delivered himself up for it,
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
26 in order that he might sanctify it, purifying [it] by the washing of water by [the] word,
26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
27 that *he* might present the assembly to himself glorious, having no spot, or wrinkle, or any of such things; but that it might be holy and blameless.
27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
