²² wives to their own husbands as in the Lord, ²³ because a man is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church and he is the savior of the body. ²⁴ But as the church is subject to Christ, so wives are to their husbands in everything. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it, ²⁶ that he might make it holy, cleansing it by the washing with water according to his word, ²⁷ that he might present to himself the church glorious, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but holy and faultless. ²⁸ Thus ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies.
