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.
