Ephesians Chapter 5 Verse 22

Interpretation of Ephesians Chapter 5 Verse 22

Ephesians 5:22 encourages wives to be in submission to their husbands as they would be to the Lord. This is because husbands are the head of their wives, just as Christ is the head of the Church. Wives should honor their husbands, respect them, and obey them. This does not mean that wives should be treated as a slave, but rather that they should submit to their husbands out of love, respect, and reverence. This verse is part of the larger passage of Ephesians 5 which talks about the roles of husbands and wives in a marriage and how they should treat one another.
