21. Also submit yourselves to one another out of reverence for Messiah—
22. wives to your own husbands as to the Lord.
23. For the husband is head of the wife, as Messiah also is head of His community—Himself the Savior of the body.
24. But as Messiah’s community is submitted to Messiah, so also the wives to their husbands in everything.
25. Husbands, love your wives just as Messiah also loved His community and gave Himself up for her
26. to make her holy, having cleansed her by immersion in the word.
27. Messiah did this so that He might present to Himself His glorious community—not having stain or wrinkle or any such thing, but in order that she might be holy and blameless.
28. In the same way, husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
