Piper says: “Now that’s one **kind of situation**.” (emphasis added)

The wife does not have to submit to abuse that requires her participation in something sinful, she sweetly refuses, as opposed to:

Piper continues: “Just a word on the **other kind**. If it’s not requiring her to sin but simply hurting her,…”” (emphasis added)

Abuse which does not require her to participate in sin, but endure sin because it is just hurtful to her, the wife is not exempt from submission to the hurtful husband.

As Piper continues: “…then I think she endures verbal abuse for a season, and she endures perhaps being smacked one night, and then she seeks help from the church.”

I find it difficult to know what to say to that.
