NASB | 1 Peter 3:1 In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 3:1 In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands [subordinate, not as inferior, but out of respect for the responsibilities entrusted to husbands and their accountability to God, and so partnering with them] so that even if some do not obey the word [of God], they may be won over [to Christ] without discussion by the godly lives of their wives, [Eph 5:22] |
Subject: So should your wife wear a headcovering? |
Bible Note: Tim You said, "A cultural argument should be used only sparingly and where Scripture supports such an interpretation." I say it is a slippery slope wherever it is used. Today we see the same tactic being used by the homosexual community. As for the headcovering issue what is a women's head covering? 1 Cor. 11:15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering. Perhaps rather than dismissing this as merely a Jewish custom we should read it in context with 1 Cor. 11:15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering. Perhaps Paul was saying women who have haircuts in an attempt to imitate men should not try to appear righteous. As for meat offered to idols, your right we don’t have many physical idols but how many lives are destroyed eating meat offered to the idol of more material worth, more power, more notoriety? Instead of dismissing we need to seek the truth in what the passage is saying. Not hunt for a legalistic law but rather the life lesson God is teaching us. EdB |
