difficult for us as lost human beings to comprehend. Like Satan and

to love (a-gaPA<u>o</u>) their wives. It is because all believers are
fellow <u>members</u> of Christ’s body! And just as an individual
cares for each member of his physical body - so - a husband must care
for his wife as a fellow-member of Christ’s spiritual body, the
Church! A book has been written - “Do Yourself a Favor - <u>Love</u>
Your Wife!”</b></font></font></p>

WRESTLING. 6:12. PAl<u>e</u>* - 1 (2) references. This is the only
form in the entire NT used in the sense as indicated in our text. In
the OT, other human beings were our enemies with which to wrestle in
warfare. <u>Not so</u> in the NT. NT saints are to find their
wrestling against Satan’s archangels: principalities and powers.
This makes a <u>vast</u> distinction between the OT and the NT. Jesus
demonstrated this in the Gospels by casting out demons - but <u>not</u>
warring against the evil Jewish rulers of His day.</b></font></font></p>

1:22-23. ke-phaL<u>E</u>* - 76 (89) references. Look at how Jesus’
Father treated His only-begotten Son! He subjected <u>everything</u>
on earth under His feet following His triumphant death, resurrection
and Ascension - and then He made Him to be <u>Head</u> over all
things to the church. Jesus is supreme over us members of His body in
every detail! Do we see Him in this category? It <u>is</u> our
Father’s design. So - this verse is indeed a good verse to
memorize, meditate upon, and <u>put into action</u>! </b></font></font>
