Ephesians 5:26


[Verses 26 and 27 are symmetrically structured in a form called chiasmus. This means that the theme in the first line corresponds to the theme in the last line, the theme in the second line to the penultimate line, and so on. In a chiasmus, words and phrases often recur. "Sanctify" in verse 26 is related to "holy" in the last line of verse 27, and the phrase "cleansed with water" is related to "without spot." The central message is that Jesus is the bridegroom and the church is his bride. The structure and placement show that it is not marriage that is an image applied to Jesus and the church. Instead, Jesus and the church are the model and prototype for marriage.]
He did this to sanctify (set apart) the [church] for God,
after he had purified it with water by the word.
