16. Make the most of your time because the days are evil.
17. For this reason do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
18. And do not get drunk on wine, for that is recklessness. Instead, be filled with the Ruach,
19. speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music in your heart to the Lord—
20. always giving thanks for everything to God the Father, in the name of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
21. Also submit yourselves to one another out of reverence for Messiah—
22. wives to your own husbands as to the Lord.
23. For the husband is head of the wife, as Messiah also is head of His community—Himself the Savior of the body.
24. But as Messiah’s community is submitted to Messiah, so also the wives to their husbands in everything.
25. Husbands, love your wives just as Messiah also loved His community and gave Himself up for her
26. to make her holy, having cleansed her by immersion in the word.
27. Messiah did this so that He might present to Himself His glorious community—not having stain or wrinkle or any such thing, but in order that she might be holy and blameless.
28. In the same way, husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
