NASB | 1 Peter 3:1 In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 3:1 In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands [subordinate, not as inferior, but out of respect for the responsibilities entrusted to husbands and their accountability to God, and so partnering with them] so that even if some do not obey the word [of God], they may be won over [to Christ] without discussion by the godly lives of their wives, [Eph 5:22] |
Bible Question (short): Was it like the Taliban? |
Question (full): So, you've got me thinking - the "taliban view" of women is from what I've read, not necessarily from Hollywood. Does anyone else have some hard and fast information re: what the real treatment and view of women was at that time? Or does anyone know of a really good place to go for historical information on this? My guess though, from the information that I've read, is that there probably was a much greater range of acceptable treatment of your wife. I'd love some more feedback (as factual as possible) on this. Wow - I've so enjoyed having so an awesome forum for discussion. This is the first one I've joined in on - do they normally go this far? I love it! |
