Ephesians 5:25 in context

  1. 23For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.
  2. 24But as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their husbands in everything.
  3. 25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;
  4. 26that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
  5. 27that 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.
