New International Version NIV
20 always give thanks to God the Father for everything 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 each other out of respect for Christ.
21
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22 For example, wives should submit to their husbands as if to the Lord.
22
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.
23 A husband is the head of his wife like Christ is head of the church, that is, 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 So wives submit to their husbands in everything like the church submits to Christ.
24
Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25 As for husbands, love your wives just like Christ 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 He did this to make her holy by washing her in a bath of water with the word.
26
to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
27 He did this to present himself with a splendid church, one without any sort of stain or wrinkle on her clothes, but rather one that is 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 That's how husbands ought to love their wives—in the same way as they do their own bodies. Anyone who loves his 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 No one ever hates his own body, but feeds it and takes care of it just like Christ does for the church
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 because we are parts of his body.
30
for we are members of his body.
