20 rendez continuellement grâces pour toutes choses à Dieu le Père, au nom de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ,

21 vous soumettant les uns aux autres dans la crainte de Christ.

22 Femmes, soyez soumises à vos maris, comme au Seigneur;

23 car le mari est le chef de la femme, comme Christ est le chef de l’Église, qui est son corps, et dont il est le Sauveur.

24 Or, de même que l’Église est soumise à Christ, les femmes aussi doivent l’être à leurs maris en toutes choses.
