Ephesians 5:24

1863–1934
Southern Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"But as the church is subject to Christ, so [let] the wives also [be] to their husbands in everything." — Ephesians 5:24 (ASV)

But (αλλα). Perhaps, "nevertheless," in spite of the difference just noted. Once again the verb υποτασσω has to be supplied in the principal clause before τοις ανδρασιν either as indicative (υποτασσοντα) or as imperative (υποτασσεσθωσαν).
