NASB | Ephesians 5:22 ¶ Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 5:22 ¶ Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as [a service] to the Lord. |
Bible Question: Verse 22 in Ephesians 5 instructs wives to be submissive to their husbands. Does that mean whatever my husband should ask of me, I should submit and do? |
Bible Answer: In Ephesians 5:1, the wife is to be submissive to her husband as is fitting in the Lord. I think what we don't emphasize enough is the last part of that verse; as is fitting in the Lord. In other words, if the Lord would or would not have you do something that your husband asks of you, then you would be sinning if you went ahead and did it. |
