Ephesians 5:25-27, 32

Ephesians 5:25-27 NLT

For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word. 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.

Ephesians 5:32 NLT

This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one.
