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 Note: joyduncan John 4:27 And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, "What do You seek?" or, "Why are You talking with her?" First single Jewish men did not speak to a single woman not because she was beneath them, remember there is not command in the scripture for woman to submit to man, the command pertains only to married couples. They did this because it could be mis-interrupted and they be accused of some indiscretion. So in fact this was done to protect BOTH their reputations. Secondly this woman was a Samaritan, Jews had no contact with Samaritans. Therefore the disciples were surprised by Jesus’ openly breaking that cultural barrier. EdB |
