Ephesians 5:22

[Walking worthy of the calling, see Eph. 4:1, affects all areas of life, and it begins in our closest relationships. Paul now takes an example from a Christian household. A family in the Roman Empire was large. The household included not only parents and their children, but also adult children, their spouses, grandparents, and sometimes even slaves. There were different types of slaves. Based on the context, this refers to slaves who served as servants. They took care of the household, children, and land. In a culture where wives, children, and slaves were considered property, the gospel points to the unique value of every human being. Wives are addressed as equals, and slaves are to be treated fairly.
This verse has no verb of its own in Greek; it is implied from the previous verse 21. While a new paragraph begins, it is clearly linked to being filled with the Spirit and a mutual voluntary submission from all parties.]
Wives, submit yourselves (take a voluntary position of cooperation with) your husbands,
just as they submit to the Lord.
