 {vss. 18-22} The Apostle enters into the diverse relationships of life, giving warnings against that which would endanger them, by showing what the Christian character of each one of them is. (Colossians 3 by J.N. Darby)
 {vss. 18-22} Where relationships exist, sin indeed has perverted everything and corrupted the will; passions come in; but the relationships themselves are of God: woe to him who despises them as such!...God has formed these relationships, and that whosoever fears God will respect them. Grace is requisite. They give occasion, through their intimacy itself, to all that is most painful, if grace does not act in them. (Colossians 3 by J.N. Darby)
 {vss. 18-22} In each relationship and in each sphere, the subordinate one is addressed first. (Earthly Relationships wherein Christ Is to Be Manifested: Colossians 3:18 by B. Anstey)
 The Christian wife is to “submit” to her husband, not because her husband insists on it, but because it is “fitting in the Lord.” (Christ Expressed in the Family Circle: Colossians 3:18-21 by B. Anstey)
