23 For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church. 24 As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything.
25 For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her 26 to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word.[a] 27 He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault.

But with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”
says the Lord, your Redeemer.

that I would never again let a flood cover the earth,
so now I swear
that I will never again be angry and punish you.
10 For the mountains may move
and the hills disappear,
but even then my faithful love for you will remain.
My covenant of blessing will never be broken,”
says the Lord, who has mercy on you.

10 Though the mountains be shaken(J)
and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love(K) for you will not be shaken(L)
nor my covenant(M) of peace(N) be removed,”
says the Lord, who has compassion(O) on you.
