God put all things under Christ's feet and gave him to the church as supreme Lord over all things.

The church is Christ's body, the completion of him who himself completes all things everywhere.

Instead, by speaking the truth in a spirit of love, we must grow up in every way to Christ, who is the head.

For a husband has authority over his wife just as Christ has authority over the church; and Christ is himself the Savior of the church, his body.

And so, in honor of the name of Jesus all beings in heaven, on earth, and in the world below will fall on their knees,

and all will openly proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

He is the head of his body, the church; he is the source of the body's life. He is the first-born Son, who was raised from death, in order that he alone might have the first place in all things.

and you have been given full life in union with him. He is supreme over every spiritual ruler and authority.

and have stopped holding on to Christ, who is the head of the body. Under Christ's control the whole body is nourished and held together by its joints and ligaments, and it grows as God wants it to grow.

And he said to the woman, "I will increase your trouble in pregnancy and your pain in giving birth. In spite of this, you will still have desire for your husband, yet you will be subject to him."

Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands as to the Lord.

And so wives must submit themselves completely to their husbands just as the church submits itself to Christ.

Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, for that is what you should do as Christians.

Women should learn in silence and all humility.

I do not allow them to teach or to have authority over men; they must keep quiet.

In the same way you wives must submit yourselves to your husbands, so that if any of them do not believe God's word, your conduct will win them over to believe. It will not be necessary for you to say a word,

For the devout women of the past who placed their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful by submitting themselves to their husbands.

Sarah was like that; she obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are now her daughters if you do good and are not afraid of anything.

and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.

For the scripture says, "God put all things under his feet." It is clear, of course, that the words "all things" do not include God himself, who puts all things under Christ.

But when all things have been placed under Christ's rule, then he himself, the Son, will place himself under God, who placed all things under him; and God will rule completely over all.

He said to me, "Israel, you are my servant; because of you, people will praise me."

Before I was born, the LORD appointed me; he made me his servant to bring back his people, to bring back the scattered people of Israel. The LORD gives me honor; he is the source of my strength.

The LORD says, "My servant will succeed in his task; he will be highly honored.

I made him a leader and commander of nations, and through him I showed them my power.

The Sovereign LORD has filled me with his Spirit. He has chosen me and sent me To bring good news to the poor, To heal the broken-hearted, To announce release to captives And freedom to those in prison.

To give to those who mourn in Zion Joy and gladness instead of grief, A song of praise instead of sorrow. They will be like trees That the LORD himself has planted. They will all do what is right, And God will be praised for what he has done.

Jesus drew near and said to them, "I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.

The one whom God has sent speaks God's words, because God gives him the fullness of his Spirit.

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever disobeys the Son will not have life, but will remain under God's punishment.

For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. He will show him even greater things to do than this, and you will all be amazed.

Nor does the Father himself judge anyone. He has given his Son the full right to judge,

"I am telling you the truth: those who hear my words and believe in him who sent me have eternal life. They will not be judged, but have already passed from death to life.

Just as the Father is himself the source of life, in the same way he has made his Son to be the source of life.

Do not be surprised at this; the time is coming when all the dead will hear his voice

"I can do nothing on my own authority; I judge only as God tells me, so my judgment is right, because I am not trying to do what I want, but only what he who sent me wants.

You heard me say to you, 'I am leaving, but I will come back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father; for he is greater than I.

For you gave him authority over all people, so that he might give eternal life to all those you gave him.

I have shown your glory on earth; I have finished the work you gave me to do.

which he used when he raised Christ from death and seated him at his right side in the heavenly world.

God put all things under Christ's feet and gave him to the church as supreme Lord over all things.

Instead of this, of his own free will he gave up all he had, and took the nature of a servant. He became like a human being and appeared in human likeness.

For this reason God raised him to the highest place above and gave him the name that is greater than any other name.

and all will openly proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
