"Family Relationships" Colossians 3:18-21
"Family Relationships" Colossians 3:18-21
In this section Paul calls the wife to voluntarily bring herself under the leadership of her husband and for the husband to love his wife in a selfless and sacrificial way. He calls the children to obey their parents and for fathers not to be harsh with their children. All of this is to be understood in our union with Christ. It doesn't speak to equality for we are all one in Him but to the order of the family structure.
