20 Always give thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
21 Be willing to serve each other out of respect for Christ.
22 Wives, be willing to serve your husbands the same as the Lord.
23 A husband is the head of his wife, just as Christ is the head of the church. Christ is the Savior of the church, which is his body.
24 The church serves under Christ, so it is the same with you wives. You should be willing to serve your husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives the same as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it.
26 He died to make the church holy. He used the telling of the Good News to make the church clean by washing it with water.
