New International Version (NIV) |
|
20 giving thanks always for all [things] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to the God and Father,
|
20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
|
|
21 being subject to one another {out of reverence for} Christ
|
21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
|
|
22 --wives to their own husbands as to the Lord,
|
22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.
|
|
23 because [the] husband is [the] head of the wife, as also Christ [is the] head of the church (he himself [being the] Savior 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 as the church is subject to Christ, thus also wives [should be subject] to their 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 wives, just as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for her;
|
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
|
|
26 in order that he might sanctify her by cleansing [her] with the washing of water by the word;
|
26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
|
|
27 in order that he might present to himself the church glorious, not having a spot or wrinkle or any such [thing], but that she may 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.
|
|
28 Thus also husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. The one who loves his own wife loves himself.
|
28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their 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 also Christ [does] the church,
|
29 After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church--
|
|
30 because we are members of his body.
|
30 for we are members of his body.
