Scriptures:

“Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, ²when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.“ – 1 Peter 3:1-2 (NIV)

“But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.“ – 1 Corinthians 11:3 (NKJV)

“Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, ¹⁴or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. ¹⁵For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. ¹⁶Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. ¹⁷Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.“ – 1 Peter 2:13-17 (NIV)
