Ephesians 5:21 - 6:9

5:21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Everything following is rooted in verse 21

In chapters 5 & 6 Paul gives examples of how we do this in the context of: 

Marriage, Family and Authority

Marriage: Husband and wife submitting, or deferring, to one another 

while fully submitting to God

Family: Children learn to obey God by obeying their parents

Authority: You are either OVER someone in authority, or UNDER someone else’s authority.
