Other common excerpts:

"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands" - The word ‘submit’ here is also the Greek word ‘hupotasso’, (Strong’s Concordance) meaning ‘to obey, be under obedience, subdue unto, to subordinate oneself, submit self unto’.

(This word doesn’t indicate being forced to do this, but rather that we as godly wives are to force ourselves in obedience. The blessing is that in submitting themselves to their husbands, which is obedience to God’s word, wives eventually become more graceful, beautiful women in God’s sight.)
