Focusing on the personal duties of each marriage mate, Paul wrote: “Let wives be in subjection to their husbands as to the Lord, because a husband is head of his wife just as the Christ is head of the congregation. ”
Paulus kirjeldas mõlema abikaasa kohustusi, kui ütles: „Naine allugu oma mehele samamoodi nagu Isandale, sest mees on oma naise pea, nagu Kristus on koguduse... pea. ”
