³ Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

²² Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

⁵ Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

¹⁷ Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

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