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, place yourselves under your husbands' authority as you have placed yourselves under the Lord's authority.

23 The husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. It is his body, and he is its Savior.

24 As the church is under Christ's authority, so wives are under their husbands' authority in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it.

26 He did this to make the church holy by cleansing it, washing it using water along with spoken words.
