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 Wives, follow the lead of your husbands as you follow the Lord.

23 The husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the church. The church is Christ's body. He is its Savior.

24 The church follows the lead of Christ. In the same way, wives should follow the lead of their husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives. Love them just as Christ loved the church. He gave himself up for her.

26 He did it to make her holy. He made her clean by washing her with water and the word.
