24. But as the assembly is subject to Messiah, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.
25. Husbands, love your wives, even as Messiah also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;
26. that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
27. that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without defect.
