Respect extends to the entire being of the wife, her intelligence, her desires, her needs and her person. So also must the pastor extend respect to the congregation.

Employees are instructed to serve their employers as they would Christ. Employers are instructed to treat employees with respect. With respectful treatment, people are able to trust and again, where trust is present, bonds are forged and unity reigns. The Church and the individual must always be aware that we are in a spiritual battle. Though Christ has already won the war against sin, Satan seeks to capture as many prisoners as he can.
