NN,
Re 391
NN: “It is often very easy to ready a sentence and get very caught up in our prior presumptions about theology and miss the content of the sentence itself.”

This is exactly the concern I expressed to you at 364:

“It appears you are reading the Eph text with the presupposition that Paul is establishing a set of behaviors intended to differentiate (“to tell between”, “to distinguish”, “to discriminate”, “to set apart”) husbands from wives. Given your presupposition you read Paul’s text as if his intention is to give wives a mode of behavior that is intended to set them apart (differentiate them) from husbands. In your view, since the instruction is based on an intention to differentiate between husbands and wives, only wives are to submit because a husband is not a wife and a wife is not a husband.”
