Ephesians 5:25-27 (New International Version - UK)

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her

    ²⁶ to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,

    ²⁷ and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
