Charles Ellicott Commentary Colossians 3:18

"Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord." — Colossians 3:18 (ASV)

As it is fit in the Lord.—For the explanation of this special fitness “in the Lord,” i.e., in virtue of Christian unity, see the grand description of Ephesians 5:23-24; Ephesians 5:32–33.
