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] |
Subject: So should your wife wear a headcovering? |
Bible Note: Greetings EdB! We don't disagree my friend that cultural can be appealed to too much! :-) I pretty much agree with everything you just posted with the exception of the silence issue. I have posted on it before, but I believe (from my research) that the word used does not refer to 'lack of speaking' but to a peacefulness of spirit that was willing to submit to the leadership of the church. So, I would not take the cultural approach with this passage either! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
