V.3-5 It is hard to believe that we believers could sink so low. But God knows us better than we know ourselves.
V.10-21 Many different warnings and encouragements. From verse 22 to verse 9 of chapter 6, are important instructions for each class of people.
V.14 We believers are to wake up. The “dead” are the unbelievers around us. Christ will then shine upon us.
V.16 We have not much time to live for the Lord.
V.22-32 God now gives us perfect instructions for a marriage.
V.22-24 Wives are to be submissive, to adapt themselves to their own husbands.
V.25-33 Husbands are to love their wives, and the example is given.
V.32 Marriage is a picture of the mystery, that is, of the Lord and His bride — we who are believers.
