Ephesians 5:24

24 So wives submit to their husbands in everything like the church submits to Christ.

Ephesians 5:24 Meaning and Commentary

Ephesians 5:24

Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ
Her head, being wholly dependent upon him, and entirely resigned to him, and receiving all from him; from whom alone is all her expectation of provision, protection, comfort, and happiness; wherefore she has respect to all his commands, and esteems all his precepts concerning all things to be right; and yields a cheerful, voluntary, sincere, and hearty obedience to them; arising from a principle of love to him, and joined with honour, fear, and reverence of him:

so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in everything:
political, domestic, and ecclesiastic; that is consistent with the laws of God, and the Gospel of Christ.

Ephesians 5:24 In-Context

22 For example, wives should submit to their husbands as if to the Lord.

23 A husband is the head of his wife like Christ is head of the church, that is, the savior of the body.

24 So wives submit to their husbands in everything like the church submits to Christ.

25 As for husbands, love your wives just like Christ loved the church and gave himself for her.

26 He did this to make her holy by washing her in a bath of water with the word.
