"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord." --
Ephesians 5:22
Although Ephesians (1:1) claims to have been written by Paul, most scholars think it was written after
his death by one of his folowers.1
Ephesians Highlights
- We are predestined by God to go to either heaven or hell. None of our thoughts, words, or actions can affect
the final outcome. 1:4-5, 11
- God had his son murdered to keep himself from hurting others for things they didn't do. 1:7
- Wives must submit to their husbands "in every thing" as though they were gods. "For the husband is the
head of the wife." 5:22-24
- Slaves must obey their masters "as unto Christ." 6:5
