For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.

and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.

so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.

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.

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.

because the husband is the head of the wife  as Christ is the head  of the church. He is the Savior of the body.

He did this to present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and blameless.

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

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.

For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.

that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

Wives, understand and support your husbands in ways that show your support for Christ. The husband provides leadership to his wife the way Christ does to his church, not by domineering but by cherishing. So just as the church submits to Christ as he exercises such leadership, wives should likewise submit to their husbands.

Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church—a love marked by giving, not getting. Christ’s love makes the church whole. His words evoke her beauty. Everything he does and says is designed to bring the best out of her, dressing her in dazzling white silk, radiant with holiness. And that is how husbands ought to love their wives. They’re really doing themselves a favor—since they’re already “one” in marriage.

For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body.

that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.

For the husband is head of the wife, as Christ is head of the church, Himself being the Savior of the body.

so that [in turn] He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy [set apart for God] and blameless.

because the husband is the head of the wife as also Christ is the head of the church – he himself being the savior of the body.

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.
