“Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;”
He speaketh namely of them which had husbands that were not Christians, which ought so much the more be subject to their husbands, that by their honest and chaste conversation they may give them to the Lord. Cross references: : Col. 3:18 ; Eph. 5:22 In the third place he setteth forth the wives’ duty to their husbands, commanding them to be obedient.
