Definitions for Ephesians 5:24
Clarke's Ephesians 5:24 Bible Commentary
In every thing - That is, every lawful thing; for it is not intimated that they should obey their husbands in any thing criminal, or in any thing detrimental to the interests of their souls. The husband may be profligate, and may wish his wife to become such also; he may be an enemy to true religion, and use his authority to prevent his wife from those means of grace which she finds salutary to her soul; in none of these things should she obey him.
Barnes's Ephesians 5:24 Bible Commentary
In everything - In everything which is not contrary to the will of God; see the notes on Ephesians 5:23.
Wesley's Ephesians 5:24 Bible Commentary
5:24 In everything - Which is not contrary to any command of God.
