There are many relationships that we sustain toward one another and in which we are to be in subjection. 22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Children are to be in subjection to parents.
Servants are to be in subjection to their masters or employees to their employees.
In a general sense masters or employers should be subject to their employees and their needs. Paul warned both masters and slaves that the way they treated each other would affect their relationship with God. Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.
