The Hinge Pin of the Family

1 Peter 3:1–7 ESV

Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they see your respectful and pure conduct. Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious. For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening. Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

1 Peter 3:1-7

CSB:

Husbands, in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with a weaker partner, showing them honor as coheirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

Ephesians 5:22–6:4 ESV

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Ephesians 5:22-6:

Ephesians 5:25–6:4 ESV

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Ephesians 5:25-6:4

Colossians 3:18–21 ESV

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

Colossians 3:

Five Principles for Men to be Godly in the Family, while living in an ungodly world.

We are to live “likewise.”

This is connected not only to the “likewise” in v. 1, but goes back to the verses in chapter 2:13-25, which talks about us living in submission. We are to conduct our lives under the submission of human authorities, servants are to be submissive to their masters because this is God’s will for us and it places us under ultimate submission to the Lord.

We are to abide with our wives in an understanding way.

This means that we are to live in moral wisdom, such as is seen right living, or living wisely

We are to show them honor.

Showing reverence, seeing their very preciousness, seeing them of value (not valuable as a piece of property)

We are to view them as tender or weak.

This weak does not mean that we are to view our wives or woman as inferior to us as men, but to recognize that there are physical differences in body and differences in roles in marriage and life, but equal to us spiritually because of Christ. Both men and women were made equally in the image of God. This means that we are all the image bearers of God. We are equal in our sinfulness. And we are equal as coheirs of the grace that God gives through faith in Jesus Christ.

I am not going to say what I am about to say just because of the current events of the past few months that you may heard about concerning some leaders within the SBC. I am saying this because it is the truth and from God’s word. IT IS NOT OK FOR A HUSBAND TO ABUSE GOD’S WORD IN ORDER TO ABUSE THEIR WIVES OR ANY WOMEN IN THEIR LIFE! NO TYPE OF ABUSE IS ACCEPTABLE!!!!! VERBAL, MENTAL, PHYSICAL, ANY AND ALL TYPES WHATEVER THEY MAY BE.

IT IS NOT OF GOD AND YOU ARE NOT BEING SUBMISSIVE TO THE LORD. HONESTLY, TREATING YOUR WIVES, CHILDREN, ANYONE ABUSIVELY, MAKES YOU A COWARD AND NOT A MAN, HUSBAND OR FATHER AT ALL!!!!

If we have children, we are as fathers, to bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. (Ephesians and Colossians)

Discipline and instruction means the whole training and education, which relates to the cultivation of mind and morals and employs for this purpose, commands and admonishment, reproof and punishment; that lifts up and encourages the child with the teaching that belongs to the Lord or proceeds from him.

This means that we are not to cause our children to become discouraged because we have treated them in such a way that causes them to be roused to wrath, to exasperate, or be of anger toward us.
