📚 Contexto Histórico
In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Ephesians from prison in Rome, addressing a church in a bustling, pagan-influenced city in Asia Minor. He was drawing on the cultural understanding of marriage to illustrate Christ's sacrificial love for the church, emphasizing spiritual purification as part of the believer's union with Christ. This verse specifically alludes to Old Testament rituals of cleansing and the early Christian practice of baptism, where water and God's Word were used to symbolize and enact sanctification.
