Ephesians 5:24-27 as the church is subject to Christ, so wives are to be subject to their husbands in every respect.

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ as the church is subject to Christ, so wives are to be subject to their husbands in every respect. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her ²⁶ to consecrate her by cleansing her in the bath of baptism as she utters her confession, ²⁷ in order to have the church as his very own, standing before him in all her glory, with never a spot or wrinkle or any such flaw, but consecrated and unblemished.
