But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that is revealed is light.

Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as of the Lord.

Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

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, as Christ is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the 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

And just as the Church submits to Christ, so also married women should be entirely submissive to their husbands.

And as the church is under Christ's authority, so let wives be under the rule of their husbands in all things.

But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their husbands in everything.

that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,

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 too married men ought to love their wives as much as they love themselves. He who loves his wife loves himself.

Even so it is right for husbands to have love for their wives as for their bodies. He who has love for his wife has love for himself:

Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

Ephesians 5:29

For never yet has a man hated his own body. On the contrary he feeds and cherishes it, just as Christ feeds and cherishes the Church;

For no man ever had hate for his flesh; but he gives it food and takes care of it, even as Christ does for the church;

For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ also the assembly;

Ephesians 5:30

because we are, as it were, parts of His Body.

Because we are parts of his body.

because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.

Ephesians 5:31

"For this reason a man is to leave his father and his mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall be as one."

For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.

"For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh."

This is a great secret: but my words are about Christ and the church.

This mystery is great, but I speak in regard of Christ and of the assembly.

Yet I insist that among you also, each man is to love his own wife as much as he loves himself, and let a married woman see to it that she treats her husband with respect.

But do you, everyone, have love for his wife, even as for himself; and let the wife see that she has respect for her husband.

Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
