Berean Standard Bible

“Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.”

Ephesians 5:24

Save as image

Study note

Paul's instructions to households begin with mutual submission and then address marriage, taking Christ and the church as the model. He has just said that the husband is head of the wife as Christ is head of the church.
