24. Now as the church submits to Christ, so wives are to submit to their husbands in everything.
25. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her
26. to make her holy, cleansing her with the washing of water by the word.
27. He did this to present the church to Himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and blameless.
28. In the same way, husbands are to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
