  • Ephesians Study Notes—Chapter 5
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
    • 5:28

      love: Paul uses the Greek verb a·ga·paʹo (to love) several times in this context to describe the love that a husband should show for his wife. (Eph 5:25, 33) Paul compares that love to the love that Christ shows for the congregation. (See study note on Eph 5:25.) The corresponding noun a·gaʹpe (love) is described in detail at 1Co 13:4-8. Christian love shown within the family combines affectionate feelings of the heart with a mental determination to apply the righteous standards established by Jehovah God.​—See study note on 1Co 13:4.
