Ephesians 5:19-29 Modern English Version (MEV)

19. Speak to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.

20. Give thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

21. being submissive to one another in the fear of God.

22. Wives, be submissive to your own husbands as unto the Lord.

23. For the husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head and Savior of the church, which is His body.

24. But as the church submits to Christ, so also let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

25. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for it,

26. that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27. and that He might present to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish.

28. In this way men ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

29. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord cares for the church.
