Text -- Ephesians 5:20-33 (NET)
Strongs On/Off
Context
5:20 always giving thanks to God the Father for each other in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
5:21 and submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ .
Exhortations to Households
5:22 Wives , submit to your husbands as to the Lord ,
5:23 because the husband is the head of the wife as also Christ is the head of the church – he himself being the savior of the body .
5:24 But as the church submits to Christ , so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything .
5:25 Husbands , love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her
5:26 to sanctify her by cleansing her with the washing of the water by the word ,
5:27 so that he may present the church to himself as glorious – not having a stain or wrinkle , or any such blemish , but holy and blameless .
5:28 In the same way husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies . He who loves his wife loves himself .
5:29 For no one has ever hated his own body but he feeds it and takes care of it , just as Christ also does the church ,
5:30 for we are members of his body .
5:31 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife , and the two will become one flesh .
5:32 This mystery is great – but I am actually speaking with reference to Christ and the church .
5:33 Nevertheless , each one of you must also love his own wife as he loves himself , and the wife must respect her husband .
