“25 Husbands, love your wives, just as ‘Christ’ [ha-Mashiyach: the-King, the-Consecrated, etc..] loved the ‘church’ [mow’ed: congregation, assembly, etc.] and gave himself up for her 26 to make her ‘holy’ [kodesh: dedicated, consecrated, etc..], cleansing[a] her by the washing with water through the word,”
