Submission to Husbands

3 Wives, likewise, be ^(A)submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, ^(B)they, without a word, may ^(C)be won by the conduct of their wives,

The Christian Home^(A)

^18 (B)Wives, submit to your own husbands, ^(C)as is fitting in the Lord.

³³ Nevertheless ^(A)let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she ^(B)respects her husband.

Marriage—Christ and the Church^(A)

²² Wives, ^(B)submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. ²³ For ^(C)the husband is head of the wife, as also ^(D)Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. ²⁴ Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands ^(E)in everything.

³ the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— ⁴ that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, ⁵ to be discreet, chaste, ^(A)homemakers, good, ^(B)obedient to their own husbands, ^(C)that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

⁶ Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded,

³ But I want you to know that ^(A)the head of every man is Christ, ^(B)the head of woman is man, and ^(C)the head of Christ is God.

¹⁶ For how do you know, O wife, whether you will ^(A)save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?

¹⁶ To the woman He said:

A Word to Husbands

^7 (A)Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, ^(B)as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, ^(C)that your prayers may not be hindered.
