17. So don’t be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
18. And don’t get drunk with wine, which leads to reckless actions, but be filled by the Spirit:
19. speaking to one anotherin psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs,singing and making musicfrom your heart to the Lord,
20. giving thanks always for everythingto God the Fatherin the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
21. submitting to one anotherin the fear of Christ.
22. Wives, submit to your own husbands as to the Lord,
23. for the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of the body.
24. Now as the church submits to Christ, so wives are to submit to their husbands in everything.
25. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her
26. to make her holy, cleansing her with the washing of water by the word.
27. He did this to present the church to Himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and blameless.
28. In the same way, husbands are to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
29. For no one ever hates his own flesh but provides and cares for it, just as Christ does for the church,
