| 0:00.0 | Thank you. When we think about beauty, what we read in the Bible often differs from what we read on social media or in beauty magazines. |
| 0:34.6 | Today on Truth for Life, Alistair Begg considers true beauty as we study the opening |
| 0:40.1 | verses of 1 Peter chapter 3. |
| 0:47.8 | Mutuality within marriage says the Bible does not negate the place of submission. Now, let me illustrate that for you in one |
| 0:56.0 | final reference. 1 Corinthians chapter 11 and verse 3. 1 Corinthians 113, concerning Jesus. |
| 1:06.0 | Now, I want you to realize, says Paul, that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman |
| 1:15.2 | is man, and the head of Christ is God. Now, does anything strike you about that for a moment? |
| 1:27.1 | The last phrase, the head of Christ is God. |
| 1:32.4 | What do we know, those of us who know our Bibles, about the Trinity? |
| 1:37.3 | What do we know about God, the Father, the Son, and the Spirit? |
| 1:40.2 | We know that they are co-eternal and that they are co-equal, that they are equal in power and in |

| 2:15.9 | submits from all of eternity to do the Father's will. Not because he is |
| 2:23.5 | inferior to the Father, but because it is vital and necessary for the purposes of God to be |
| 2:32.2 | worked out from all of eternity into time that Jesus delight to do the Father's will. |
| 2:40.3 | His mutuality is without question, and his submission to the Father is absolutely plain. |
| 2:47.8 | Now, the point of all of that is simply this, that that is the exact picture, that is the |
| 2:53.4 | same kind of structure which is written into the fabric of marriage. The husband and wife are equal |
| 3:00.7 | before God, now hold on, but in order for the family to function in harmony, the woman with no loss of dignity |
| 3:12.5 | takes the place of submission to the headship of her husband |
