1 Peter 3:1,2

1 PETER—NOTE ON 1 Peter 3:1 A husband is to be the leader in the home (compare Ephesians 5:22; Colossians 3:18). A wife is to be subject to (see 1 Peter 3:5) and follow her husband’s leadership. If a wife has an unbelieving husband who is disobedient to the word (that is, the gospel), she should not try to pressure him into converting. Instead, her godly conduct will demonstrate the truth of the gospel without a word. your own husbands. Scripture never says that women in general are to be subject to men in general. It does support male headship in the home (see also Titus 2:5) and in the church (see 1 Timothy 2:11; 1 Timothy 3:2; and notes). Scripture also establishes the equality of man and woman as being made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27; see 1 Peter 3:7).
