We talk through some of the important translation decisions in Brandon Johnson's at-home translation of Ephesians 5:18-33. It has some of the most alarming passages in all of the Christian Bible - namely, the whole "wives submit to your husbands" stuff. If you listen carefully, you can actually hear us squirming.

• neglect vs debauchery,
• is salvation about cooperation or submission,
• why wives don't owe respect to their husbands by default,
• and much more!

Here's the comparison image of the ESV and Brandon's translation.
