3. Redeeming the time Making the most of the available opportunities
“Teach us to number our days [or prepare our days’] that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12)
Cannot save time, only spend it
When I have more time…

4. Husbands and wives
Do we only see the phrases ‘husband is the head’ and ‘wives submit’?
Husbands to love (six times)
In response, wives to submit and reverence
“This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.”(5:32)

5. Children and parents Children to honour, parents not to provoke
Nurture and admonition (6:4)
Maintain relationships
Teach things to “sons and to sons’ sons”
Ecclesial care for those children who do not have parents in the truth
