Weymouth New Testament WNT
New International Version NIV
21 and submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
21
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22 Married women, submit to your own husbands as if to the Lord;
22
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.
23 because a husband is the Head of his wife as Christ also is the Head of the Church, being indeed the Saviour of this His 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 And just as the Church submits to Christ, so also married women should be entirely submissive to their husbands.
24
Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25 Married men, love your wives, as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself up to death for her;
25
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
26 in order to make her holy, cleansing her with the baptismal 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 Church to Himself a glorious bride, without spot or wrinkle or any other defect, but to be holy and unblemished.
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 too married men ought to love their wives as much as they love themselves. He 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 For never yet has a man hated his own body. On the contrary he feeds and cherishes it, just as Christ feeds and cherishes 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, as it were, parts of His Body.
30
for we are members of his body.
31 "For this reason a man is to leave his father and his mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall be as one."
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.”
