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: Though I totally disagree with you, I commend you for your consistency. Would you also then say that women should not speak even as a guest Missionary (for a 5 minute clip), or to lead worship, or to sing a solo? |
Bible Answer: Hello Joy, Thank you for disagreeing agreeably. :-) Women should not lead worship, because they are not to be in leadership positions in corporate gatherings of the church. Guest missionaries and soloists are in a gray area. I would say that, as long as they are not leading and teaching, it would be acceptable. Steve |
