Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Ver. 22. Wives, submit, &c.] This includes reverence, obedience, &c. God hath scattered the duties of husbands and wives up and down the Scriptures, that they may search, and by learning to be good husbands and wives, they may learn also to be good men and women.
As unto the Lord] Who taketh himself dishonoured by wives' disobedience. And though husbands may remit the offence done to them, yet they cannot remit God's offence, but there must be special repentance.
