Ephesians 5:24-27 Just as the church is in subjection to Christ, so married women must be, in everything, to their husbands.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ Just as the church is in subjection to Christ, so married women must be, in everything, to their husbands. ²⁵ You who are husbands must love your wives, just as Christ loves the church and gave himself for her, ²⁶ to consecrate her, after cleansing her with the bath in water through her confession of him, ²⁷ in order to bring the church to himself in all her beauty, without a flaw or a wrinkle or anything of the kind, but to be consecrated and faultless.
