“That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”
And to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless — the goal: paristēmi ('to present') heautō ('to himself') the ekklēsiān endoxos ('church glorious,' splendid), a-spilos ('without stain'), unwrinkled (a-rhytis), without blemish (a-mōmon), hagia ('holy') and a-mōmos ('blameless'), the church's eschatological perfection.
