Weymouth New Testament WNT
New International Version NIV
17 On this account do not prove yourselves wanting in sense, but try to understand what the Lord's will is.
17
Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
18 Do not over-indulge in wine--a thing in which excess is so easy--
18
Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,
19 but drink deeply of God's Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and offer praise in your hearts 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 Always and for everything let your thanks to God the Father be presented in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
20
always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
21 and submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
21
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22 Married women, submit to your own husbands as if to the Lord;
22
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.
23 because a husband is the Head of his wife as Christ also is the Head of the Church, being indeed the Saviour of this His 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 And just as the Church submits to Christ, so also married women should be entirely submissive to their husbands.
24
Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25 Married men, love your wives, as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself up to death for her;
25
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
26 in order to make her holy, cleansing her with the baptismal 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 Church to Himself a glorious bride, without spot or wrinkle or any other defect, but to be holy and unblemished.
27
and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
