Efesios 5:20-33 DHH Den siempre gracias a Dios el Padre por todas las cosas, en el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. Estén sujetos los unos a los otros, por reverencia a Cristo. Las esposas deben estar sujetas a sus esposos como al Señor. Porque el esposo es cabeza de la esposa, como Cristo es cabeza de la iglesia, la cual es su cuerpo; y él es también su Salvador. Pero así como la iglesia está sujeta a Cristo, también las esposas deben estar en todo sujetas a sus esposos. Esposos, amen a sus esposas como Cristo amó a la iglesia y dio su vida por ella. Esto lo hizo para santificarla, purificándola con el baño del agua acompañado de la palabra para presentársela a sí mismo como una iglesia gloriosa, sin mancha ni arruga ni nada parecido, sino santa y perfecta. De la misma manera deben los esposos amar a sus esposas como a su propio cuerpo. El que ama a su esposa, se ama a sí mismo. Porque nadie odia su propio cuerpo, sino que lo alimenta y lo cuida, como Cristo hace con la iglesia, porque ella es su cuerpo. Y nosotros somos miembros de ese cuerpo. «Por eso, el hombre dejará a su padre y a su madre para unirse a su esposa, y los dos serán como una sola persona.» Aquí se muestra cuán grande es el designio secreto de Dios. Y yo lo refiero a Cristo y a la iglesia. En todo caso, que cada uno de ustedes ame a su esposa como a sí mismo, y que la esposa respete al esposo.
Ephesians 5:20-(27) 33 ERV Always give thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Be willing to serve each other out of respect for Christ.
Wives, be willing to serve your husbands the same as the Lord. 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. The church serves under Christ, so it is the same with you wives. You should be willing to serve your husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives the same as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it. 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. Christ died so that he could give the church to himself like a bride in all her beauty. He died so that the church could be holy and without fault, with no evil or sin or any other thing wrong in it.
And husbands should love their wives like that. They should love their wives as they love their own bodies. The man who loves his wife loves himself, because no one ever hates his own body, but feeds and takes care of it. And that is what Christ does for the church because we are parts of his body. The Scriptures say, “That is why a man will leave his father and mother and join his wife, and the two people will become one.” That secret truth is very important—I am talking about Christ and the church. But each one of you must love his wife as he loves himself. And a wife must respect her husband.
