Living regarding Marriage: Likewise, Wives, 3.1-6 (cont.)

Bringing it Together3.1-6: Life in exile means living with personal hostile oppressors, like a wife with an unbelieving husband, whose redemption should be sought not by persuasion with words but by illustration with deeds the character of the innocent suffering Savior.

3.7: Life in exile means living with the more vulnerable and exploitable, like a husband with a wife, whose knowledgable conduct should honor the feminine one as the Shepherd who sacrificed Himself for His sheep.

3.8-12: Exiles in a hostile world must conduct themselves with God-honoring conduct among themselves and with enemy-redeeming conduct toward those who would attack them from the outside.

Living regarding Marriage: Likewise, Husbands, 3.7

Living regarding Antagonists, 3.8-12
