Scripture Commentary debate point

V22 borrows its verb from v21, so the submission in view for wives must be the same kind: voluntary, mutual, self-giving, not one-directional hierarchy.

Scripture Commentary debate point

Eph 5:22 instructs wives to submit to husbands, implying a hierarchical authority structure in marriage.
