¹⁹ Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers,^(A) but fellow citizens^(B) with God’s people and also members of his household,^{(C) 20} built^(D) on the foundation^(E) of the apostles and prophets,^(F) with Christ Jesus himself^(G) as the chief cornerstone.^{(H) 21} In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple^(I) in the Lord. ²² And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.^(J)

²² And God placed all things under his feet^(A) and appointed him to be head^(B) over everything for the church, ²³ which is his body,^(C) the fullness of him^(D) who fills everything in every way.^(E)

²³ For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church,^(A) his body, of which he is the Savior. ²⁴ Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands^(B) in everything.

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives,^(C) just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her^{(D) 26} to make her holy,^(E) cleansing^[a] her by the washing^(F) with water through the word, ²⁷ and to present her to himself^(G) as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.^(H)
