3. 22 Wives, submit yourselves to
your own husbands as you do
to the Lord. 23 For the husband
is the head of the wife as
Christ is the Head of the
church, His body, of which
He is the Savior.
EPHESIANS 5:22-32
4. 24 Now as the church submits to
Christ, so also wives should
submit to their husbands in
everything. 25 Husbands, love
your wives, just as Christ loved
the church and gave Himself
up for her
EPHESIANS 5:22-32
5. 26 to make her holy, cleansingher
by the washing with water
through the Word, 27 and to
present her to Himself as a
radiant church, without stain or
wrinkle or any other blemish, but
holy and blameless.
EPHESIANS 5:22-32
6. 28 In this same way, husbands
ought to love their wives as their
own bodies. He who loves his wife
loves himself. 29 After all, no one
ever hated their own body, but
they feed and care for their body,
just as Christ does the church—
EPHESIANS 5:22-32
7. 30 for we are members of His
body. 31 “For this reason a man
will leave his father and mother
and be united to his wife, and
the two will become one flesh.”
EPHESIANS 5:22-32
8. 32 This is a profound mystery—
but I am talking about Christ
and the church.
EPHESIANS 5:22-32
10. 1. GOD IS THE AUTHOR OF
MARRIAGE. MARRIAGE IS
FROM GOD.
11. 8 Now the LORD God had
planted a garden in the east, in
Eden; and there He put the
man He had formed.
GENESIS 2:8-9
12. 9 The LORD God made all kinds of
trees grow out of the ground—
trees that were pleasing to the
eye and good for food. In the
middle of the garden were the
tree of life and the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil.
GENESIS 2:8-9
13. 18 The LORD God said, “It is not
good for the man to be alone.
I will make a helper suitable
for him.”
GENESIS 2:18
15. 28 God blessed them and said to
them, “Be fruitful and increase
in number; fill the earth and
subdue it. Rule over the fish in
the sea and the birds in the sky
and over every living creature
that moves on the ground.”
GENESIS 1:28
17. 1 Now for the matters you
wrote about: “It is good for a
man not to have sexual
relations with a woman.”
1 CORINTHIANS 7:1-7
18. 2 But since sexual immorality is
occurring, each man should have
sexual relations with his own
wife, and each woman with her
own husband.
1 CORINTHIANS 7:1-7
19. 3 The husband should fulfill his
marital duty to his wife, and
likewise the wife to her
husband.
1 CORINTHIANS 7:1-7
20. 4 The wife does not have
authority over her own body but
yields it to her husband. In the
same way, the husband does not
have authority over his own
body but yields it to his wife.
1 CORINTHIANS 7:1-7
21. 5 Do not deprive each other except
perhaps by mutual consent and
for a time, so that you may
devote yourselves to prayer. Then
come together again so that
Satan will not tempt you because
of your lack of self-control.
1 CORINTHIANS 7:1-7
22. 6 I say this as a concession, not as
a command. 7 I wish that all of
you were as I am. But each of
you has your own gift from God;
one has this gift, another
has that.
1 CORINTHIANS 7:1-7
38. 1 The LORD then said to Noah,
“Go into the ark, you and
your whole family, because I
have found you righteous in
this generation.
GENESIS 7:1
39. 18 The waters rose and increased
greatly on the earth, and the ark
floated on the surface of the
water. 19 They rose greatly on the
earth, and all the high mountains
under the entire heavens were
covered.
GENESIS 7:18-19
40. 4. AS THE CHURCH RELATES
TO CHRIST, THE WIFE IS THE
HELPER FOR HER HUSBAND.
41. a. As the church is the BRIDE
of Christ, so the wife is the
HELPER for her husband.
42. 25 Husbands, love your
wives, just as Christ loved the
church and gave Himself up
for her.
EPHESIANS 5:25
43. b. A wife is a COMPANION
and CO-WORKER fit for
the husband.
44. 18 The LORD God said, “It is not
good for the man to be
alone. I will make a helper
suitable for him.”
GENESIS 2:18
50. b. Submission does not
mean that the wife is to
silently let the husband take
action even when she
knows he is mistaken.
51. c. But TRUE SUBMISSION
means that the wife
acknowledges the headship
of her husband in the home.
52. d. It means that the wife
will avoid making
independent decisions that
she knows her husband will
not approve of.
53. e. The husband and wife will
usually come to agreement.
However, sometimes they
cannot agree. Submission
means that the wife will yield
the final decisions on the
matter to her husband.
