Ephesians 5:22-33

NLT

NIV

22 For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord.
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.
23 For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church.
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 As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything.
24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25 For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
26 to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word.
26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
27 He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault.
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 the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for 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 hates his own body but feeds and cares for it, just as Christ cares 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 And we are members of his body.
30 for we are members of his body.
31 As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into 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.”
32 This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one.
32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.
33 So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
