Did I take the easy road by not including "Wives, submit to your husbands" in the summary? Perhaps. But I think the emphasis of that passage is on Christ's love for the church, which is also a clear echo of the opening verses. Feel free to disagree...
Wives, submit to your husbands who are commanded by God to love you as Christ loves the Church.
Walk as Christ, lovingly exposing darkness. Wives, submit to your husbands who are commanded by God to love you as Christ loves the Church.
V 15 Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
The days are evil for sure, but God is more than able to direct our steps if we stay close to Him.
I summarised all 1,189 chapters of the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day for over three years.
These are the summaries of the book of Ephesians.
They are written to help you understand and remember what's going on in the chapter, but they're no substitute for reading the Bible for yourself.
