25. Husbands, love your wives. Love them just as Christ loved the church. He gave himself up for her.
26. He did it to make her holy. He made her clean by washing her with water and the word.
27. He did it to bring her to himself as a brightly shining church. He wants a church that has no stain or wrinkle or any other flaw. He wants a church that is holy and without blame.
