Ephesians 5:23 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Here's the thing about marriage — husbands are meant to lead their wives the same way Christ leads the church. And just like Christ protects and saves his people, husbands should protect and care for their families.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Leadership in marriage should look like Christ's love — protective, sacrificial, and totally committed to your person's wellbeing.
