Ephesians 5:23-27

23For 1the husbandG435 is the headG2776 of the wifeG1135, as ChristG5547 alsoG2532 is the 2headG2776 of the churchG1577, He HimselfG846 3being the SaviorG4990 of the bodyG4983. 24But as the churchG1577 isG5293 subjectG5293 to ChristG5547, soG3779 alsoG2532 the wivesG1135 ought to be to their husbandsG435 in everythingG3956.

254HusbandsG435, loveG25 your wivesG1135, justG2531 asG2531 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 lovedG25 the churchG1577 and 5gaveG3860 HimselfG1438 upG3860 for her, 266soG2443 thatG2443 He might sanctifyG37 her, having 7cleansedG2511 her by the 8washingG3067 of waterG5204 with 9the wordG4487, 27that He might 10presentG3936 to HimselfG1438 the churchG1577 11in allG1741 her gloryG1741, havingG2192 noG3361 spotG4696 orG2228 wrinkleG4512 orG2228 anyG5100 suchG5108 thingG5108; but that she would be 12holyG40 and blamelessG299.
