Introduction

In today’s reading, Paul describes the relationship between wives and husbands to emphasize the oneness of God’s people in union with Christ. In addressing wives and husbands, he reflects the levels of authority in households accepted in Paul’s day.

Scripture Reading

Ephesians 5:21-33

Today’s Key Verse: Ephesians 5:21

Submit yourselves to one another because of your reverence for Christ.

Reflect

Today’s reading begins with a key principle regarding relationships with others (verse 21). How do you understand the application of this verse in your relationships with others? What do you consider important in your relationships with people you know?

Pray

Almighty God, teach me to be obedient to your Word. In my relationships with others, may all I do and say reflect your love and grace and give glory and honor to you. Amen.

And now, join us in praying for Bible translation efforts around the world. Loving God, we pray those who still do not have a Bible in their language will gain access to Scripture in a language and format they can understand and discover the life-changing message of your Word. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

Ephesians 6:1-24:The apostle Paul continues his discussion of household relationships and encourages believers to clothe themselves with the spiritual armor of God.
