   Paul’s Letter To The Ephesians

17 -  Therefore don’t be senseless, but understand what the will of the Lord is.18 Don’t get drunk with wine, in which is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, 19 talking with one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. Be happy! Sing songs and make melody to the Lord! {Musicians!} 20 Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name [onoma - authority, character, cause, name] of our Lord Jesus Christ. 21 Submit yourselves to one another in reverence of him. 22 Wives to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife like Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in all things to their husbands.

     25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself for the church/people, 26 that he might sanctify the church/people, having cleansed them by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that the church/people might be holy, and without blemish.
