Eph 5:33-6:9 "It's Mutual!"

IT'S MUTUAL! This was Paul's BIG IDEA based on the revelation of the Great Mystery in Ephesians 5:32.

In Ephesians 5:33-6:9 Paul presents Part 2 of his illustrative passage on How to be filled with the Spirit (5:18).

In verses 19a and 21 he explained that believers teach and correct one another through their speaking and their submitting.

Then starting with verse 22 all the way through 6:9 he illustrates how this is done.

Christ is the supreme example. As Christ LOVED the church and GAVE Himself for the church (5:25b).

Similarly, Christian wives and husbands live like Christ (see the link in Greek with the word "fear" in verse 21 and in 33.

There is no hierarchy in the Christian couple living this way. And we would see that easily if we were not influenced by the mistranslation and misinterpretation of Genesis 3:16. This is why we need to true the verse in 3:16 because the Hebrew message is clear: God didn't curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way (see Tru316.com).

GO DEEPER in the book Beyond Eden, Ephesians 5:15-6:9 by Bruce C. E. Fleming

The Tru316 Foundation (www.Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming where we “true” the verse of Genesis 3:16. The Tru316 Message is that “God didn’t curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way.” Once Genesis 3:16 is made clear the other passages on women and men become clear too. You are encouraged to access the episodes of Seasons 1-11 of The Eden Podcast for teaching on the seven key passages on women and men. Are you a reader? We invite you to get from Amazon the four books by Bruce C. E. Fleming in The Eden Book Series (Tru316.com/trubooks). Would you like to support the work of the Tru316 Foundation?
