Bible Question:
Scripture ... Eph 5:22-33; Col 3:17-25 ......... On husbands loving their wives (read the context) Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, Eph 5:28 So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; Eph 5:33 Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself Col 3:19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them. "Will their prayers be hindered if they follow Jacobs example in his relationship to Leah?" ... I told you the Bible doesn't say his prayers were hindered. Genesis 29:30 says he LOVED Leah, tho less the Rachel. |
Bible Answer: Hello Searcher, True, verse 30 says that, and verse 31 says Leah was hated. I'm sure it was a comparison about the level of affection towards the two. Steve |
