Ephesians 5:20-26 Common English Bible (CEB)

20. always give thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

21. and submit to each other out of respect for Christ.

22. For example, wives should submit to their husbands as if to the Lord.

23. A husband is the head of his wife like Christ is head of the church, that is, the savior of the body.

24. So wives submit to their husbands in everything like the church submits to Christ.

25. As for husbands, love your wives just like Christ loved the church and gave himself for her.

26. He did this to make her holy by washing her in a bath of water with the word.
