The Darby Translation DBY
New International Version NIV
22 Wives, [submit yourselves] to your own husbands, as to the Lord,
22
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do 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.
28 So ought men also to love their own wives as their own bodies: he that 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 has ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as also the Christ the assembly:
29
After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church—
30 for we are members of his body; [we are of his flesh, and of his bones.]
30
for we are members of his body.
31 Because of this a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.
31
“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
32 This mystery is great, but *I* speak as to Christ, and as to the assembly.
32
This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.
33 But *ye* also, every one of you, let each so love his own wife as himself; but as to the wife [I speak] that she may fear the husband.
33
However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
