Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
Christ's sacrificial love for the church sets the standard for how we should love others.
Paul instructs husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church—with complete self-giving, purifying intention, and unwavering commitment. This standard applies beyond marriage to all our relationships, calling us to love with Christlike devotion and sacrifice.
