Ephesians 5:25-27

The Message Bible MSG

25 Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church - a love marked by giving, not getting.

26 Christ's love makes the church whole. His words evoke her beauty. Everything he does and says is designed to bring the best out of her,

27 dressing her in dazzling white silk, radiant with holiness.

New International Version NIV

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her

26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,

27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
