Bible Note: This may be begging the question... but I'll point this out anyway: We have a clear obligation in scripture to fulfill our vows. If a woman has vowed to obey her husband, then she would be in violation of the covenant of marriage if she refused to obey him. (This sure makes it important that a woman know her future husband well before making this vow!) Nevertheless, scripture seems to make this requirement of wives: see 1 Peter 3:1. The word translated as "subjection" in the KJV is the Greek word "hupotasso" which, according to Strong's, means "to be under obedience." |
