Other KJV translations of Greek word “Weak”: Feeble, 1 Cor 12:22 Sick, Matt 5:39 Impotent, Acts 4:9 Weakness, 1 Cor 1:25 Without Strength, Rom 5:6

Give her honor It is honor you assign to her We assign honor to the weak? Yes:

Hummingbirds & Bluebirds get feeders & houses

Precious items go in a museum Your favorite car gets special care

You Honor Her as Christ Honored the Church: Eph 5:25-33 He gave Himself for Her Benefit

CHRIST

Gave Gave Himself Gave because she

was not perfect and He gave to help her become holy

Gave to make her glorious, special

SOME HUSBANDS

Used to Give Give Things Give--unless she is

imperfect--then she gets nothing

Give to pacify her

Like Christ, be careful how you give and what you give

Honored as an honored child of GodHonored by my actions, words and

heart Is she honored, when I:

Grumble in my heart about her Live it up, when she is gone Buy something just for me Stop speaking to her

Honor her by studying her, know her language, understand her code
