20. And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
21. And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22. For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord.
23. For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church.
24. As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything.
25. For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her
26. to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word.
27. He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault.
28. In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself.
