Ephesians 5:25-33

Lexham English Bible LEB

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for her;

26 in order that he might sanctify her by cleansing [her] with the washing of water by 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.

28 Thus also husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. The one who loves his own wife loves himself.

29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as also Christ [does] the church,

30 because we are members of his body.

31 "For this [reason] a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."

32 (This mystery is great, but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church.)

33 Only you also, each one [of you], must thus love his own wife as himself, and the wife {must respect} her husband.

New International Version NIV

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her

26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,

27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

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.

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 is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.

33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
