How is the participle καθαρίσας functioning in relation to the main verb ἁγιάσῃ? How are we to understand the dative noun τῷ λουτρῷ? And do we understand the prepositional phrase ἐν ῥήματι? In his translation of the NET bible Wallace seems to be taking the participle as a participle of means: “to sanctify her by cleansing her.” Hoehner argues that the participle is showing the means, manner, and ground and translates the phrase “he might sanctify her having cleansed her.” O’Brien argues that “it is best, then, to understand the participle as denoting the means by which the action of the main verb was accomplished.” I think I agree with a modified Hoehnerinian position. I see the participle as highlighting the ground and the means of why the sanctification took place and how the sanctification took place. The people could be could be sanctified because God cleansed them when he gave his life up for her. Also, the church was sanctified by being cleansed by God at the Cross. This is more of a theological argument but because the participle could go either way I think understanding this theologically can be helpful. I would translate the phrase “to sanctify her by having cleansed her.” The next dative phrase is best translated by using the word “with” because it is a dative of instrument. Christ cleansed the church with the washing of water. This is best understood as an imagery of showering or bathing, hence why the word water is used in connection with washing. The meaning of the phrase ἐν ῥήματι is usually understood to mean the pronouncement of the Trinity over those who are being baptized. But, Paul uses this phrase eight times and seven of those uses unambiguously refer to the preached word or the gospel. This lines phrase in connection with the pronouncement that Paul says before it, that Christ died for the church to sanctify her by having cleansed her with washing of water, lines up perfectly with what Jesus says in John 15:3: “Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.” And with John 17:17: “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.” So one of Christ purposes in his death was to sanctify her (set her apart) by having cleansed her (both the grounds and means of his sanctifying her) with (instrumental dative) the washing of water (understood as the cleansing of sin that is analogous to washing the mud off of you in the shower) in the word (the preached word which is the gospel of Christ).
