Ephesians 5:25-27
25 aHusbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and bgave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by athe washing of water bwith the word, 27 so athat he might present the church to himself in splendor, bwithout spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
