| Ephesians 5:23 | for a husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly. *He* [is] Saviour of the body. | because a husband is the Head of his wife as Christ also is the Head of the Church, being indeed the Saviour of this His Body. | For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body. |
| Ephesians 5:24 | But even as the assembly is subjected to the Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything. | And just as the Church submits to Christ, so also married women should be entirely submissive to their husbands. | But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their husbands in everything. |

| Ephesians 5:27 | that *he* might present the assembly to himself glorious, having no spot, or wrinkle, or any of such things; but that it might be holy and blameless. | that He might present the Church to Himself a glorious bride, without spot or wrinkle or any other defect, but to be holy and unblemished. | 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 blemish. |
| Ephesians 5:28 | So ought men also to love their own wives as their own bodies: he that loves his own wife loves himself. | So too married men ought to love their wives as much as they love themselves.

| Ephesians 5:30 | for we are members of his body; [we are of his flesh, and of his bones.] | because we are, as it were, parts of His Body. | because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones. |
