Ephesians 5 15 33 with good news

Here are the verses from Ephesians 5:15-33 with a focus on the good news:

Ephesians 5:15-21

15 "Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Good News: The good news is that we don't have to live in foolishness or debauchery. Instead, we can be wise and make the most of every opportunity by being filled with the Spirit and speaking to one another with songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.

Ephesians 5:22-33

22 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 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. 28 In the same way, husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31 "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

Good News: The good news is that marriage is a beautiful picture of Christ's love for the church. Husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loved the church, giving himself up for her and making her holy. Wives are called to submit to their husbands, just as the church submits to Christ. This is a profound mystery, but it's a reminder that our relationships with each other are meant to reflect the love and sacrifice of Christ for us.
