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. ”
Pievēršot uzmanību tam, kas tiek prasīts no vīra un sievas, Pāvils norādīja: ” Sievas lai pakļaujas saviem vīriem kā Kungam, jo vīrs ir sievas galva, tāpat kā Kristus ir draudzes galva, savas miesas glābējs. ”
