The English language struggles to accurately convey the intent of the term submission in that well known scripture in Ephesians that reads as follows in the King James version of the Bible:

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

Ephesians 5:22 (KJV*)

The word submit seems to carry so many negatives, yet we urge you to read on and read the entire teaching from Ephesians 5:21-33, and perhaps in a more modern translation of the Bible. In the context of the entire passage, a wife has absolutely nothing to fear in accepting a husband’s headship if he cooperates to serve and honour his wife as Christ serves and loves His church.

In this short video discussion, discover how a wife faced a dilemma in trying to please God and at the same time honour her husband who was opposed to her act of service and obedience.
