Ephesians 5:23


← Ephesians 5:22 Ephesians 5:23 (KJV) Ephesians 5:24 →
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
