| Summary: | Counsel given to battered women in the church has too often relied on 1 Pet 3:1–6 to encourage women to stay with an abusive husband for the husband's sake.

Historical, literary, and canonical contexts suggest that the surface message of the text — submission to even an abusive husband—is not its complete message. |
