Ephesians 5:21
Previous Verse
Ephesians 5:21
Next Verse

Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

Note 36 at Eph. 5:21: In the remainder of this chapter, Paul goes on to teach about marriage. One of the important lessons he gives is on the submission of the wives to their husbands. But before he mentions that, he says we are supposed to submit ourselves one to another in the fear of God (see note 37 at this verse). That means that submission is not a one sided thing. Even husbands are to submit to their wives.

Note 37 at Eph. 5:21: Notice that this submission is "in the fear of God." The scripture does not teach anyone to ever disobey God in an attempt to submit to someone else (see note 2 at v. 22, p. 1133).
