Ephesians 5:21 Douay-Rheims

Being subject one to another, in the fear of Christ.

John Gill

1697–1771 Reformed

For the husband is the head of the wife,.... See Gill on Co1 11:3. Even as Christ is the head of the church; all the elect; See Gill on Eph 1:22. And he is the Saviour of the body; not "of our body", as the Ethiopic version reads, of that part of man, which is called the body; though that indeed is redeemed and saved by Christ, as well as the soul; but "of his body", as the Vulgate Latin version reads; that is, of the church, which is his body; see Eph 1:23; of which he is the Saviour; he provides everything for it, preserves and protects it, and has wrought out salvation for it, which every member of it partakes of.
