22 For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord.

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.

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.

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.

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.
