As I look through the New Testament Scriptures… the word respect is not used in connection with a child parent relationship… and it is used only once in the husband and wife relationship. Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.
This is the only verse in the New Testament that uses this Greek word for respect in the context of the relationship of husband and wife.
It also is the only occurrence in the New Testament that uses this Greek word as a verb in present tense, subjunctive mood, middle or passive voice. The present tense means this is a continuous action. The subjunctive mood means that this a conditional clause, strong suggestion, or a polite command. Middle voice means that the subject was acted upon and passive means that the subject initiates the action and participates in the results of the action.
In Ephesians it looks to me that Paul is saying husbands if you will love your wife she will respect you, but wife you should choose to respect your husband even if he is not loving you as you think he should and if you do you will reap the results of this choice. When God uses the word respect in Ephesians I believe that God politely requests that a wife respect her husband… because by doing so it shows that she respects herself. In Ephesians the word obey , or hypakouete , is in the present tense, imperative mood, and active voice.
This means it is to be a continuous action and is used to express a command and it is the subject that produces the action. In this verse this Greek verb for honor is also in the present tense, imperative mood, and active voice.
Now in the English, the word respect in the verb form means to admire someone or something deeply, as a result of their abilities, qualities, or achievements. In the English the word honor in the verb form means t o highly respect. According to our English language respect and honor are conditional. They are reserved for those we have decided are worthy of receiving them according to their abilities, qualities, and achievements.
Therefore respect is conditional according to what we deem as achievements within our own personal context. Great fighters respect other great fighters. However those who believe fighting is animalistic and cruel have no respect for anyone who does that for a living. Great hunters respect other great hunters, but those who believe hunting is wrong have no respect for those who do it. Thus the reason some stand and applaud something that others choose to get up and walk away from.
We are to submit to authority because we respect God. So our submission as wives to our husband, as employees to our employer, or as citizens to our government is out of respect or fear of our God. A position is the essence of honor, whereas attention is an essence of respect. Honor can also be used as a transitive verb, whereas respect as an intransitive verb. It is a higher level of respect, including reputation, privilege, and recognition of a person.
It is the assessment of a person characterized by social admiration other than much by the character, personality, and subjective perception about that person. It can also be explained by the possession of supremacy, which is not easily obtained by other people, similarly to the authority of political personalities. An honored person expected to have a great position, ideal character, and behavior with high moral values.
The use of honor is more formally. Respect is a feeling of valuing, admiring, and importance for a person or thing based on their skills, character, and achievements. We can also provide respect to an ideal, group, nation, actions, society, religion, and particular behaviors.
