New American Standard Bible NAS
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 yourselves to your own husbands as you do 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 their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church—
30 because we are members of His body.
30
for we are members of his body.
