Ephesians 5:24-27

24 As the church is under Christ's authority, so wives are under their husbands' authority in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it.

26 He did this to make the church holy by cleansing it, washing it using water along with spoken words.

27 Then he could present it to himself as a glorious church, without any kind of stain or wrinkle--holy and without faults.

Ephesians 5:30

30 We are parts of his body.

Ephesians 5:32

32 This is a great mystery. (I'm talking about Christ's relationship to the church.)
