New International Version (NIV) |
|
20 always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father ;
|
20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
|
|
21 and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.
|
21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
|
|
22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
|
22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.
|
|
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also 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, so also the wives ought to be 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 up for her,
|
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
|
|
26 so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
|
26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
|
|
27 that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing ; but that she would 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 So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He 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 Christ also 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.
