AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 5:33 However, each man among you [without exception] is to love his wife as his very own self [with behavior worthy of respect and esteem, always seeking the best for her with an attitude of lovingkindness], and the wife [must see to it] that she respects and delights in her husband [that she notices him and prefers him and treats him with loving concern, treasuring him, honoring him, and holding him dear].

Bible Note: Dear Cyclist: As you well should know, no one scripture can neutralize another. But all scripture works together to show the perfect will of God. In the verses you quote above Paul is addressing the Galations in regards to the issue of pride among them. This is why he says that we are all equal in God's sight. However, Paul states in 1 Timothy 2:12, "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. I have clicked on mommapbs name and read her biography. In it she welcomes anyone to set her straight if she needs it. But from the very moment she answered one of my post, not even addressed to her, she had antagonism toward me because I did just that. Anyway, I foster no ill will toward her. I write for her edification. Like I said, they are bitter pills to swallow but in the end I hope she examines her heart and her motives and comes away better for it. Why do I do this? Years ago, when I was still young in the Word a friend told me that I had to "Work out my own salvation with fear and trembling." I was aghast. Where does it say that in the Bible, I thought. How can you work out your own salvation? Jesus did that for us. And why should I fear, doesn't perfect love cast out fear? Well, as I continued to study, I found that what he said was written in the Bible, and can be found in Phillipians 2:12. By my error, I learned not to take the Word for granted. I learned to investigate all things very thoroughly before taking a position on it. I began to check into not just what others assume about the Bible but what I assumed myself. Not only did I learn to reprove others with the Word but I learned to reprove myself. Now, I barely speak unless I am absolutely certain of what the Word says, for fear of leading someone astray. And I hope to instill that in mommapbs, Emmaus, and everyone else on the forum. God Bless You for writing, Rabbi Mark |
