4: η γυνη του ιδιου σωματος ουκ εξουσιαζει αλλ ο ανηρ ομοιως δε και ο ανηρ του ιδιου σωματος ουκ εξουσιαζει αλλ η γυνη— edit Textus Receptus
4: The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.- edit KJV text
4: The wife hath not power of her own body: but the husband. And in like manner the husband also hath not power of his own body: but the wife.— edit Douay text


The wife hath not power, etc. By the marriage covenant that power, in this respect, is transferred to the husband.

And likewise also the husband. The equal rights of husband and wife, in the Scriptures, are everywhere maintained. They are to regard themselves as united in the most intimate union, and in the most tender ties.
