Question 1 of 6
1. Question
How have Bible translations mistakenly translated Ephesians 5:21-22? (Select all that apply)
- They separate "submit one to another" from "wives submit to your husbands," implying they are different ideas that go with different topics.
- They misrepresent the Greek grammar and put the emphasis on "wives submit to your husbands" rather than the Greek emphasis which is on "submit one to another."
- They don't mistakenly translate these verses. While they recognize that the verb "submit" is meant to be used both for "submit one to another" and for "wives submit to your husbands," the second half of the sentence is obviously introducing a new topic about the marriage relationship. So, they separate the two ideas in order to make that clear.

Question 3 of 6
3. Question
Check all the ways in which the “household codes” of Ephesians 5: 21-6:9 are subversive.
- They use the Greco-Roman accepted household codes, but instead of only addressing the man they also address the woman, the child, and the slave.
- In the Greco-Roman world, a household was meant to serve the needs and wants of the head householder—usually the father and/or husband, who was the house's authority. In this passage, Paul switches the command so that the head "man-of-the-house" is told to love his wife by taking care of her like he wants to be taken care of, and to love her like Jesus loved the church. He is also told not to provoke his children, and to stop threatening his slaves.
- These household codes maintain the Greco-Roman order of the man as master of the house, with authority over his wife, children and slaves who are all told, in one way or another, to obey him.
- The instruction to women to submit to their husbands was not saying anything new in this culture, but telling men to love their wives like Jesus loved the church was entirely new.
- Verse 33 actually instructs men to love their wives as themselves so that his wife will respect him.
- Throughout history faithful women submitted to their husbands and men provided for their families.

Question 4 of 6
4. Question
What to say when someone says a husband is entitled to sex (Select all that apply)
- In 1 Corinthians 7 Paul is actually countering a belief that "it is good for a man not to touch a woman."
- Because men are more sexualized than women, God created women to meet men's sexual needs in marriage.
- It is good for people to have a mutual outlet for natural desires in marriage.
- Paul is NOT advocating a one-sided view of sex in marriage, but is instead promoting mutual authority, fulfillment, and consent.

Question 6 of 6
6. Question
Does God require us to stay with abusive husbands? (Choose One)
- A. Yes, marriage is a sacrament and we made a vow that for better or worse, we would remain married. Jesus agreed with this when he said that God hates divorce.
- B. No, God wants the abused set free. This is the pattern seen since God freed the Hebrews from slavery in Egypt all the way through to the New Testament where Jesus said he came to release the captives and set the oppressed free, which includes abused spouses.
- C. Yes, if we stay with our abusive husbands we might be able to influence them to do the right thing, even to follow Jesus.
- D. No. Staying with an abusive spouse enables them to continue their sinful behavior and prevents them from experiencing the consequences of their sin.
- B and D are both correct
- A and C are both correct
