"so that he may present the church to himself as glorious– not having a stain or wrinkle, or any such blemish, but holy and blameless."
— Ephesians 5:27, NET Bible
“That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”
“that he might present the church to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. ”
“that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”
“That he might present it to himself, a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”
“And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete.”
“That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”
But as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her
to sanctify her by cleansing her with the washing of the water by the word,
so that he may present the church to himself as glorious– not having a stain or wrinkle, or any such blemish, but holy and blameless.
In the same way husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
For no one has ever hated his own body, but he feeds it and takes care of it, just as Christ also does the church,
because we are members of his body.
