Ephesians 5:23-27 for a husband is the head of his wife, just as Christ is the Head of the church, His body, and Saviour of it.

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ for a husband is the head of his wife, just as Christ is the Head of the church, His body, and Saviour of it. ²⁴ Just as the church is subject to Christ, so the married women in everything must be subject to their husbands. ²⁵ You married men must love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her, ²⁶ to consecrate her, after cleansing her through His word, as pictured in the water bath, ²⁷ that He might present the church to Himself as a splendid bride without a blot or wrinkle or anything like it, but to be consecrated and faultless.
