“ God’s Expectation for Husbands and Wives ”
From Ephesians 5: 22 – 27
By
Pastor Sookwan Lee
22 Wives,
submit to your husbands as to the Lord.
24 Now
as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands
in everything.
25 Husbands,
love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
26 to
make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
27 and
to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any
other blemish, but holy and blameless.
I.

protected
