NASB | Colossians 3:18 ¶ Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Colossians 3:18 ¶ Wives, be subject to your husbands [out of respect for their position as protector, and their accountability to God], as is proper and fitting in the Lord. |
Bible Question (short): what does "Wives Submit" really mean? |
Question (full): My husband loves to use this verse a lot. But I'm having this feeling that it doesn't apply to every situation he tries to use it for. Does "Wives be subject" mean I have no Freewill to do anything and that I am under his total control for every situation we come across. I believe that this verse means that Women are to submit WILLING to their husbands, but we are also God's created and thus have a freewill to explore our options. It's not an absolute dictatoriship. Any help? |
