Husbands Love Your Wives as Christ Loved the Church

Paul can't help but bring up baptism. It's like he stumbles right into it, and so does this a lot. This is not even talking about what you're going to do with your wife. So as you are cleansed by a washing of water combined with the word, this is definitionally what a sacrament is. What is baptism? Baptism isWater combined with the words of christ. That's what it is. He says that he has cleansed you by the washing of water, sill there is water involved in this washing. Its not a word alone, washing, washing of water with the word. You have to take it apart carefully.
