Ephesians 5:24

24 sed ut ecclesia subiecta est Christo ita et mulieres viris suis in omnibus

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 mulieres viris suis subditae sint sicut Domino

23 quoniam vir caput est mulieris sicut Christus caput est ecclesiae ipse salvator corporis

24 sed ut ecclesia subiecta est Christo ita et mulieres viris suis in omnibus

25 viri diligite uxores sicut et Christus dilexit ecclesiam et se ipsum tradidit pro ea

26 ut illam sanctificaret mundans lavacro aquae in verbo
