ephesians 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

ephesians 5:24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives [ought to be] to their husbands in everything.

24. Therefore--Translate, as Greek, "But," or "Nevertheless," that is, though there be the difference of headships mentioned in Eph 5:23, nevertheless, thus far they are one, namely, in the subjection or submission (the same Greek stands for "is subject," as for "submit," Eph 5:21, 22) of the Church to Christ, being the prototype of that of the wife to the husband.
their own--not in most of the oldest manuscripts, and not needed by the argument.
in every thing--appertaining to a husband's legitimate authority; "in the Lord" (Col 3:18); everything not contrary to God.

ephesians 5:24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives [ought to be] to their husbands in everything.
