Believers are a Glorious Church

Ephesians 5:25-27
New King James Version (NKJV)

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, ²⁶ that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,²⁷ that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having ( Grammar: Present Active Participle ) spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.
