  • Ephesians Study Notes—Chapter 5
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
    • 5:25

      continue loving your wives: In this verse, the Greek verb a·ga·paʹo (to love) is in the present tense, which is why it has been rendered “continue loving.” At Col 3:19, the same form is rendered “keep on loving.” Husbands are commanded to show enduring love for their wives. (Eph 5:28, 33) By doing so, they imitate Jesus, who constantly shows love for the Christian congregation.
