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: Greetings EdB! I probably read your posts, but didn't remember them! :) Old age! I would agree! Walter Kaiser Jr. proposes that the situation may have even went beyond embarasment to certain women actually rebelling against the church leadership. Either way, the point of the passage definitely seems to be one of proper relationships, not absolute silence. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
