2 For I feel a ^qdivine jealousy for you, since I ^rbetrothed you to one husband, ^sto present you as a pure virgin to Christ.

27 ^fso that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be ^gholy and without blemish.¹

28 Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone ^hmature in Christ.
