5:26 washed by the cleansing of God’s word: The church has been cleansed by the message of good news. God has forgiven the sins of his people through Christ’s sacrificial death (John 15:3; cp. Titus 3:5; 1 Pet 3:21).
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal
ἵνα
in_order_that
The connecting phrase so that introduces a goal relationship. The goal or purpose of Christ giving himself up to death is to sanctify the church.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
αὐτὴν ἁγιάσῃ, καθαρίσας
her ˱he˲_/may/_sanctify /having/_cleansed_‹her›
Paul speaks of the assembly of believers as though it were a woman whom Jesus will marry. Alternate translation: “he might make us holy, having cleansed us”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
καθαρίσας τῷ λουτρῷ τοῦ ὕδατος ἐν ῥήματι
/having/_cleansed_‹her› ˱by˲_the washing ¬the ˱of˲_water by /the/_word
This could mean: (1) Paul is referring to God making Christ’s people clean by the preaching and acceptance of God’s word in the gospel message and through water baptism in Christ. (2) Paul is speaking of God making us spiritually clean from our sins by the message as if God were making our bodies clean by washing them with water.
