?22? Wives, submit to your husbands as to
the Lord. ?23? For the husband is the head of the
wife as Christ is the head of the church, his
body, of which he is the Savior. ?24? Now as the
church submits to Christ, so also wives should
submit to their husbands in everything. ?25?
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved
the church and gave himself up for her ?26? to
make her holy, cleansing? her by the washing with
water through the word
?Eph 520? always giving thanks to God the
Father for everything, in the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ. ?21? Submit to one another out of
reverence for Christ.
SUBMISSION IS MUTUAL

• Esther 71 So the king and Haman went to dine
  with Queen Esther, ?2? and as they were drinking
  wine on that second day, the king again asked,
  Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be
  given you. What is your request? Even up to half
  the kingdom, it will be granted.

• ?3? Then Queen Esther answered, If I have found
  favor with you, O king, and if it pleases your
  majesty, grant me my lifethis is my petition.
  And spare my peoplethis is my request. ?4? For I
  and my people have been sold for destruction and
  slaughter and annihilation. If we had merely been
  sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept
  quiet, because no such distress would justify
  disturbing the king.?? ?5? King Xerxes asked
  Queen Esther, Who is he? Where is the man who
  has dared to do such a thing? ?6? Esther said,
  The adversary and enemy is this vile Haman.

  away from the mouth of the well and watered his
  uncles sheep. ?11? Then Jacob kissed Rachel and
  began to weep aloud. ?12? He had told Rachel that
  he was a relative of her father and a son of
  Rebekah. So she ran and told her father.
