25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church people. He gave his life for the church.

26 He did that so that he might make the church people holy, when they were washed with water by Gods word.

27 He gave his life for the church so that one day he can look at the church and see that the people are great and wonderful. The people of the church must have no dirty spot or wrinkle or any thing like that. But they are to be holy and good.
