Colossians 3 vs 18 - chpt 4 vs 6 - Corps Night - part 2
Colossians 3:18-4:6 OK. Colossians chapter three, verse 18. Colossians 3:18: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands [not to your neighbours' husbands], as it is fit in the Lord. First of all, these verses, from verse 18 down through chapter four verse one, are really a practical explanation of verse 17. Where it said: Colossians 3:17: And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus [Christ], giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

And ye wives, it says, you are to be in subjection to your own husbands as it is fit "in the Lord". The word "Lord" is "Christ" in Aramaic, because he is the head of that Body. And even if you left it as lord, it would still be, the Lord Jesus Christ, because that's where we left off in verse 17. And we called this section, "Laboring for the practice of the Mystery".
