EPHESIANS 5:23-33

23:       “For the husband(aner=a man) is the head(kephale=the head) of the wife(gune=a women), even as Christ(anointed) is the head(kephale=the head) of the church(ekklesia=called out ones): and he is the savior soter=a savior, preserver) of the body(soma=body).”

24:       “Therefore as the church(ekklesia=called out ones) is subject (hupotasso =to set in array under) unto Christ(anointed), so let the wives (gune= a women) be to their own husbands(aner=a man) in every thing(pas=all, every).”

25:       Husbands(aner=a man), love(agapao=to love) your wives(gune=a woman), even as Christ(anointed) also loved(agapao=to love) the church(ekklesia=called out ones) and gave himself(paradidomi=to give over to) for it;”

26:       “That he might sanctify(hagiazo=to set apart) and cleanse(katharizo=to make clean, clear) it with the washing(loutron=bath, washing vessel) of water(hudor=water) by the word(rhema=word).”

27:       “That he might present(paristemi=to set along side) it to himself a glorious(endoxos=in glory) church(ekklesia=called out ones), not having spot(spilos=stain, blot), or wrinkle(rhutis=a wrinkle), or any such things; but that it should be holy(hagios=separate, set apart) and without  blemish(amomos=spotless, blameless).”

29:       “But man nourisheth(ektrepho=to nourish much) and cherisheth (thalpo = heat soften, cherish) his own flesh(sarx=flesh), even as the Lord(kurios= lord, master) the church(ekklesia=called out ones).”

30:       “For we are members(melos=limb, part of the body) of his body (sarx=body), of his flesh(sarx=flesh), and of his bones(osteon=bone).”

32:       “This is a great(megas=great) mystery(musteron=what is known only to the initiated): but I speak(lego=to lay out, say) concerning(eis=with a view or regard to) Christ(anointed) and the church(ekklesia=called out ones).”
