As Christians, we are called to submit to one another. Paul explores the relationships within a traditional household and how they should interact with each other: Husbands, wives, children, slaves, and masters are all called to respect one another. Many throughout history have abused this passage and used it in support of slavery or the oppression of women. Further examination shows that this is not the case and the Bible was especially progressive for its time.
