Christ Central Marriages

Would you open up your Bibles now to Colossians chapter 3?

Colossians 3 · chapter mention

It's on page 1170.

I'm going to start by reading Colossians chapter 3.

Colossians 3 · chapter mention

I'm going to be preaching on 18 and 19, the roles of men and women in marriage.

But I'm going to start in verse 12 in the reading.

And I'll read through verse 19.

May God bless the hearing of His Word.

Put on then as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.

Bearing with one another, and if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.

And above all these, put on love, the love.

Which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called into one body.

And be thankful.

Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom.

Singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs.

And with thankfulness in your hearts to God in whatever you do, in word or deed.

Do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Wives, submit to your husbands as is fitting in the Lord.

Husbands, love your wives.

And do not be harsh with them.

May God bless the hearing and now preaching of His Word.

There's this one particular scene in the Princess Bride.

Princess Buttercup and the evil Prince Humperdinck are kneeling at the altar.

And the priest has his back turned.

And the priest turns and he signals them to rise.

And then the priest says,

Marriage.

Marriage is what brings us together today.

It's quite a scene.

You have a incompetent religious professional making a mockery of the institution of marriage.

We live in a culture that is terribly confused about marriage.

Not just the nature of marriage, but the roles of men and women in marriage.

There's even confusion within the church about the roles of men and women within a Christian marriage.

Brothers and sisters, we need clarity.

And God's Word gives us clarity.

Biblically speaking, marriage is an exclusive commitment between one man, one woman, to each other, for life, before God.

And we've reached a point in the book of Colossians where Paul has moved from addressing the church to now addressing households.

And what we have in 3.18-4.1 is what's called a household code.

A household code.

It's hard to talk about.

It's even hard to say from the pulpit.

Household slaves and masters.

A household code is actually a spelling out of the authority structure within a household.

And Paul begins the household code section with instructions to wives and husbands in marriage.

Marriage is not why we've come together today.

Christ is.

Christ is.

And so what I'm going to argue for this morning from the Bible, from this text that we're going to read that many of us are wondering about.

Christ must be the controlling center of our marriages, brothers and sisters.

Christ must be the controlling center.

So here's how we're going to proceed.

I just want to help you think about Christian household codes.

And the nature of authority.

And then we're going to look at the call to Christian husbands.

And then the call to Christian wives.

And then I'm calling you out to the dance floor.

Christ must be the controlling center of our marriages.

Of our marriages, brothers and sisters.

We will experience Christocentric resonance in our marriages.

The peace of Christ.

The peace of Christ ruling our hearts.

The word of Christ dwelling richly among husband and wife.

And we're doing everything in word and deed.

Our roles played out in the name of Jesus.

Do I have an amen?

Amen.

Amen.

So regarding household codes and authority.

Back in the first century, a household code provided clarity to the relationships within a household.

And at that time, it regarded marriage in terms of, and as well as parenting children, as well as relationships with household slaves.

This past week, I read three household codes.

One written by Aristotle.

The other written by Philo.

The other written by Josephus.

And all three had two things in common.

You ready?

These non-Christian household codes, they made the man, the head of the home, the controlling center of the household.

These non-Christian codes did.

And secondly, these non-Christian household codes, they demeaned those who were in an inferior position.

They were in a subordinate role.

And so, all three of the codes, they obviously valued wives, children, and slaves less than the man of the home.

But then when you look at Christian household codes, like we have in Colossians 3, Ephesians 5 and 6, 1 Peter chapter 3, they are revolutionary.

1 Peter 3 · chapter mention

A Christian household code insists on Christ being the controlling center of a household.

You can see it in our passage.

Wives, submit to your husbands as is fitting to the Lord.

Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.

Bondservants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, fearing the Lord, in verse 22.

Whatever you do, as do it as the Lord, you're serving the Lord Christ, in verse 24.

And then finally, he turns to masters.

And masters of the first century household would have been the fathers and husbands as well.

So, one man.

He says to them,

Masters, treat your bondservants justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a master in heaven.

Reverence to the Lord Jesus.

Every person in a household is called to make Jesus the controlling center of their life.

It's revolutionary.

All the members, here's another difference.

All the members of a Christian household are to be dignified.

Despite their role, they're to be dignified as having equal value.

A husband who leads his home isn't, in God's eyes, more valuable than his wife or his children.

No, we're all image bearers.

We are all equally in need of being saved.

But one of the things I also want you to notice, and this is debatable within the Christian church,

Paul preserves an authority structure that is grounded in the order of creation.

And so, he looks to husbands and fathers to be the unique leader of the home.

Having a unique responsibility.

I'm going to come back to that in a little bit.

But I just want you to help you see that the purpose of a household code is to bring priests in order to a household.

And we're to do this in a Christocentric way.

In a way that dignifies everyone in our home.

Now, let me just speak a word about authority.

I'm guessing when you hear the word authority,

authority, you think power.

The power to tell someone else what to do.

Our culture isolates authority as something to be grasped for in order to get your agenda done.

Here's how I want you to think about authority.

Authority is the function of responsibility.

Authority is an outworking of responsibility.

When God entrusts people to another person,

He grants them authority to act on their behalf.

For their well-being.

That's Christian authority operating in an understanding of Christian responsibility.

We don't divorce authority from responsibility.

We understand it as a necessary function of it.

And so the elders of a church are given authority to act on behalf of the members of the church

because they have a responsibility before the Lord

to oversee the church for the church's well-being.

And God gives responsibility, a unique responsibility to husbands and fathers in Christian households

for the well-being of their wives and children.

And that's why He gives us a unique authority

to be used for the well-being of those in our homes.

So we need to be thinking well about these things.

A Christian household are to be Christ-centered and dignifying of all.

And the God-given authority given to people with a responsibility

is for the good of those in the household.

So now let's look at the call to Christian husbands.

Verse 19.

Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

Let me just remind you of who's being addressed here.

Because this is not a new start in the book of Colossians.

This is coming out of what we just read,

what we've just been studying,

what we've been seeking to apply.

Brother, if you're a Christian married man in the room,

God is addressing you here clearly.

Husbands, love your wives.

These married men have been delivered from the domain of darkness

and transferred into the kingdom of the beloved son.

These married men have been given a new identity.

They have been united with Christ in His death and His resurrection.

Their identity is not so much in their manness

as first and foremost in their being in Christ.

They have a new aim.

Seek the things that are above, where Christ is.

They have a new time frame.

They are wanting to live out their lives,

realizing they're in between the first coming

and the second coming of Christ.

They got a new wardrobe.

These Christian men,

they are to put off the old self

with all of their grave clothes

and put on the new self of Christ-likeness,

compassionate hearts,

kindness,

humility,

meekness,

patience,

and above all else,

love.

And so brothers,

here's what you've got to understand at the forefront.

I want you to feel the weight of this.

We see it played out in Genesis 1, 2, and 3.

Just as God held Adam accountable

for his family

in Genesis 3, 9,

in a unique way,

God is going to hold you accountable

for your family

in a unique way.

It's a responsibility

he's entrusted to you.

Their well-being.

And so brother,

as the head of your home,

you must love your wives.

The well-being of your wife

is your top priority.

And the way you

show this responsibility,

the way you show this commitment,

the way you lead your wife,

the way that you exercise

this authority

given to you by God

is by loving your wife.

That word love

in verse 19

follows on the heels

of the use of the word love

in verse 14.

And above all these,

put on the love.

The Christ-like love

of John 13, 34, and 35.

It's the,

you want to flip over

to Ephesians chapter 5.

Ephesians 5 · chapter mention

It's this kind of love.

Husbands, love your wives

as Christ loved the church

and gave himself up for her

that he might sanctify her,

having cleansed her

by the washing of water

with the word.

This kind of love

that we're talking about here

is not a domineering love.

It's not a tyrannical love.

It's not an abdicating love.

It's a self-sacrificing love.

It's I'm going to lay my life down

for my wife,

for her well-being.

All unto Christ.

For the well-being

of her physical body,

for the well-being

of her mental health,

of her emotional health,

of her relational health,

and of course,

her spiritual health.

I'm going to sacrifice myself

for her comprehensive well-being.

You know what the result is?

When a brother's loving his wife like that,

do you know what happens?

Your lady thrives.

She blossoms.

She experiences,

through your loving leadership,

joy,

gladness,

safety,

support.

Brother, imagine this.

You're at the judgment

and your wife goes first.

The Lord Jesus asks her,

so how did Mike do?

Jenny's like,

eh.

I'm anticipating that time.

Jesus is going to look at me

and I'm going to,

hmm.

But if Jenny says this,

or your brother,

your wife says this,

Mike wasn't perfect.

He stepped on my toes a lot.

But man,

he helped me to thrive

for you.

He helped me to treasure you,

Lord Jesus.

He gave himself

so that I could treasure you,

Lord Jesus.

I don't need to hear anything else.

What a day.

Brothers,

ours is a high,

Christ-like call.

to love your wives.

There's a qualification.

Don't be harsh with them.

Let me just put in some other words.

Don't be domineering.

Don't bully.

Don't demean.

Don't despise.

Don't be impatient.

That word harsh

literally means to become embittered.

So let's just say

your wife comes up to you

and she's like

trying to help you

not to sin.

You might become embittered.

Don't be embittered

because she's trying

to help you follow Jesus.

Thank her.

This word harsh

gives me an opportunity

to talk about abuse.

This rules out

any

physical abuse.

It rules out

any emotional,

verbal,

sexual abuse.

Brothers,

we may not

abuse our wives.

It's an abuse

of your responsibility.

God has not

called you to that.

You're not to sin

against your wives

like that.

It's the very opposite

of laying your life

down for your wife's

good.

I have another qualification.

This isn't apostolic.

This isn't written

in holy script.

I'd put it this way.

Paul just said

don't be harsh with them.

I would say

brothers,

don't be hiding

from them.

Don't be checking out.

Harshness is a distortion

of your responsibility

by way of tyranny.

Checking out

and hiding

is a distortion

of your responsibility

by abdication.

It is

an abdicating

of the responsibility

given to you,

brother,

by God himself.

You might say to me,

oh Mike,

she's more spiritual

than I am.

She's more mature

than me.

Okay,

that's fine.

That doesn't relieve you

of the responsibility

of laying your life

down for her good.

Mike,

she's more effective

than I am.

She gets things done.

Great,

utilize it.

That doesn't relieve you

of the responsibility

God has given you.

Mike,

I'm compromised

by my own sin.

I've been hamstrung.

I think

that there's

a wicked scheme

of the devil

out there right now.

Hamstringing men,

Christian men

from leading

in their homes

because they know

they've disqualified

themselves.

Brothers,

whatever sin it may be,

don't be hiding.

don't be hiding

from your wife.

She's part

of the solution

to you

living

an uncompromised

life.

A life

of integrity.

These are weighty

issues,

aren't they?

But there's

goodness

to this.

Brothers,

responsibility

is good.

It's good.

you might be

asking right now,

what do I do?

What do I do?

Here's what you do.

Treasure Jesus

above all else.

Treasure him.

Make him center

of all that you are

and you bring

that to your wife.

You bring that

to your marriage,

brother.

That's what you do.

I'm going to give you

some dance instructions

and a little bit

of some steps

you can take.

The first thing

is the most important

thing

and that is to make

Jesus your first love.

More than you love

yourself,

more than you love

your spouse.

Having said that,

the call to Christian

husbands now look

at the call

to Christian wives.

I know everybody

in the room wants

to know what

submit means.

Submit means.

Submit means.

But let me just

remind you,

sister,

of who you are.

If you're a married

Christian woman,

God is addressing

you directly.

Wives,

submit to your husbands

as is fitting

in the Lord.

The women being

addressed here

are married women

who've been transferred

from the domain

of darkness

into the kingdom

of the beloved son.

The women

that he's addressing

here are women

with a new identity.

These women

have been united

with Christ

in his death

and resurrection.

So their identity

is not being

in a wife

or being the wife

of this particular man.

First and foremost,

their controlling identity

is that they've been

united with Christ

in his death

and resurrection.

Ladies,

do I have an amen?

Amen.

They have a new aim

to seek the things

that are above

where Christ is.

It's Christ

that you serve.

New time frame.

You live

in between

the first coming

and second coming

of Jesus.

Church,

what time is it?

It's Christ time.

Ladies,

you've got a new attire.

It just so happens

to be the same attire

as your husband's.

To put off

the old self

and to put on

new Christ-likeness,

compassionate hearts,

kindness,

humility,

meekness,

patience,

love.

Did you hear

what's going on here?

We've got husband

and wife

adorned in Christ

dancing the dance

of marriage.

So now we come

to this word submit.

Sister,

when you read

that word submit,

that despite what

our culture may say

and despite

what you may feel,

that word submit

doesn't mean

you're inferior.

That's not what

it's getting at.

We fully embrace

the equal value

of men and women

in our church.

God's given

different roles.

That's why

this word is here.

But you need

not fear it.

You're not inferior.

Kevin DeYoung

is one of my

favorite preachers

and one of my

favorite thinkers.

He wrote an article.

I got it somewhere.

Here.

Here it is.

Let us reason

together about

complementarianism.

That's a huge word.

But that's

kind of what's behind

what we're talking about.

If you want to learn

about this,

there are 30 copies

of this article

outside

in the

Connect Desk.

Grab one.

But in this article,

he makes a case

that the 38 times

this word submit,

hypotasso,

is used

in the New Testament,

it's always referring

to one party,

always in a relationship

with one party

in authority

over another.

The party

in the subordinate

role is called

to submit.

to the authority

of the one

who has a responsibility.

So,

here's how to think

about submission.

Submission

is a willing

coming under,

a willing

coming under

the God-given

authority

and responsibility

of someone else.

That's what

submission is.

Willingly coming

under God's

good design

of something.

It's a wife

saying,

my husband

has a God-given

responsibility,

for me,

and I will

entrust myself

to him.

That's what

submission is.

Now,

this isn't done

blindly,

because I'm guessing

in many of your

minds right now,

you're saying,

well,

what about this?

What about that?

I'm not trying

to be Pollyanna here.

I'm not trying

to see things

in rose-colored

glasses.

What we do need

to hear clearly,

though,

is what God

is saying to you.

What God

is,

just imagine

this.

If a Christian

wife

is thoroughly

convinced

by her husband's

actions

that he is

sacrificing himself

for her well-being,

do you know

what that does?

Do you know

what that does?

that makes

submission a joy?

That positions

her to respond

well.

She has confidence

in you,

brothers.

At the heart

of responsibility

is trustworthiness,

and at the heart

of trustworthiness

is character,

integrity.

If you want

to look at

Ephesians

Ephesians 5 · chapter mention

chapter 5,

22

through 24,

we read this.

Wives,

submit to your

own husbands,

not to somebody

else's husband.

Wives,

submit to your

own husbands

as to the

Lord,

for the

husband is

the head

of the

wife,

even as

Christ is

the head

of the

church,

his body

and himself

as Savior.

That's an

actual argument

from the

order of

creation.

Now as

the church

submits to

Christ,

so also

wives should

submit in

everything to

their husbands.

Husbands,

love your

wives as

Christ loved

the church

and gave

himself up

for her.

Do you

see what's

going on

here?

Our

marriages

are living

parables

of Christ's

relationship

to the

church.

It's a

dance we

get to

dance,

brothers and

sisters.

Some of

us husbands,

we are

demonstrating

Christ-like

love and

initiating with

our wives in

a certain

way and

our wives

are demonstrating

a church-like

response.

It's a

beautiful

dance.

And when

Jesus Christ

is the

functional

center of

a marriage,

marriage,

this dance

has a

Christocentric

resonance to

it.

The peace

of Christ

ruling hearts,

the word of

Christ dwelling

richly among

them,

and the name

of Christ

being exalted

in all that

they do.

That's what

we're being

called to.

Don't settle

for less.

Let's aim

for more.

There's a

qualification.

to this

wives,

submit to

your husbands

as is

fitting in

the Lord.

Christian

wife,

there is

only one

person in

your life

who has

unconditional,

unilateral,

indefinite,

authority over

every aspect of

your life.

Do you know

who it is?

It's not your

husband.

It's the Lord

Jesus Christ.

Your husband's

authority is a

derived authority

from God

himself, and he

is to exercise

that authority out

of his responsibility

for you, for

your well-being

in Christ.

Christ.

So here's

what that

means.

Your

willing

submission to

your husband

is a

means to

magnifying

Christ.

It's for

him.

He's your

new aim.

Your

husband must

not take the

place of Jesus

Christ in your

life.

He can't.

but you

can follow

him in a

way that is

for Christ.

He's seated

in the

heavenlies

right now.

Set your

sights on

what is

above.

Here's another

thing that this

means, this

qualification as

is fitting in

the Lord.

Sister, you

willingly submit

to your

husband in

so far as

it pleases

Christ.

if your

husband is

demanding you

to do

something that

grieves the

Lord Jesus to

lie in a tax

form, to

go rob a

bank, you

say no.

With full

authority knowing

it doesn't

please Christ

and it's

Christ who

matters most.

Now you

may be able

to have to

say something

like this,

honey, I'm

happy to

follow you

as long as

Christ is

exalted but

I will not

lie for you.

I will not

deceive others

for you.

I can't.

Jesus Christ

is your

ultimate Lord

sister.

Brothers, are

you hearing

me?

Are you

hearing me?

Sister, here's

something else

this means.

You're not

trapped in

your husband

has been

given a

God-given

responsibility

and authority

for you,

yes, but

he's

accountable.

He's

accountable to

God himself

and to the

elders of our

church.

church.

We're not

going to

tolerate

abuse in

Christ the

King

church.

You know

why?

It's not

Christ-like.

In all of

this, I would

say one thing,

sisters.

Don't grab

the reins.

Let your

husband lead.

With all this

said, let your

husband lead.

In fact,

encourage him.

Say, you go

brother.

Lead us unto

Christ.

How can I

help?

Now you may be

asking this

question, what

if I'm married

to an

unbeliever?

Non-Christian.

Do you know

what you do?

You submit to

your non-Christian

husband in what

you can as unto

the Lord.

And look at

1 Peter 3.

Now, if

you're a

sister in the

room who's

married and

you sense God

addressing you and

now you're asking

the question, what

do I do, Mike?

How do I

respond?

Do you

remember what I

told the

husbands?

Treasure Christ

above all else.

Make him central

to all that you

are and walk in a

manner worthy of

the Lord and what

he's called you to

as a wife.

And then we

bring in this

Christ-like

wardrobe into

our marriages.

Which now brings

me to the

call to the

dance floor.

Next month, I

told you this last

week, the

Salvati's are

heading out to

Iowa City, Iowa.

I don't think we

would go there for

any other reason

other than my

nephews getting

married.

And I know what

awaits.

What awaits in

Iowa City is a

dance floor.

And I'm planning

on bringing Jenny

out on the dance

floor.

I'm going to draw

her close and

we're going to

lead her as the

music plays and

we're going to

work together.

I am a lousy

dancer.

I am a boring

dancer.

I know that's

hard to believe.

It's true.

Here's the

mistake I make.

I just start

doing a circle

move.

I think I'm

doing pretty good

and then Jenny's

like, oh.

I also step on

Jenny's toes.

And I love it

when she tells me,

Mike, you're

dancing in circles.

Okay.

Mike, you're

stepping on my

toes.

Oh, I'm sorry,

sorry.

Brothers, take

your wives out on

the dance floor.

Dance, brother.

Bring them out.

Lead them.

It's okay you

dance in circles.

She'll tell you.

It's okay you

dance on her toes.

Dance on her toes.

She'll let you

know.

But better that

than do nothing.

So let me give you

five steps.

You ready?

Christocentric

resonantial dance moves.

The first three

happens before you

even greet your wife

in the morning

and wife before you

greet your husband.

Move number one.

Treasure Christ

above all else.

every day.

Seek him.

Behold him.

And your beholding

of him become

like him.

Put off the old

grave clothes.

Put on Christ

like this.

That's where we

start.

Treasure Jesus

more than yourself,

more than your

spouse.

It will go well

with your marriage.

Second, this is

before you get out

on the dance floor.

Kind of warming up.

Thank God.

Thank God for your

spouse.

Thank God for this

calling on you.

Thank God for your

marriage.

When you are

thanking God for

these things,

there's this

goodness.

It's this

graciousness

that brings into,

God brings into a

marriage.

God, thank you so

much for Jenny.

Thank you, God,

for calling me to be

her husband.

Thank you for the

responsibility you've

given me.

Thank you, God,

for this marriage.

Third,

ask God for help.

For yourself first,

before your spouse.

God, would you

please, please help

me lead Jenny in

such a way that

Christ is exalted.

Help me to lead

her to you,

Lord Jesus,

that she would

treasure you more.

And then you start

asking questions.

God, would you

show me if I'm

being irresponsible?

Would you show me

if I'm being harsh?

Would you show me

if I'm hiding out

so that I can step

back in for the

glory of your name?

And then I'll pray,

oh, God, help

Jenny follow me

as is fitting to you.

That's just for

husbands, wives.

We're praying

something similar.

And so what we're

doing here is we're

getting ready to step

out on the dance

floor.

So now number four,

this is how you can

actually play it out,

dance it out.

Husbands, I want to

help you think about

leading your wives

conversationally.

And here's what that

looks like.

This looks like taking

her on the dance floor

and you're going to

lead her in a certain

way.

It's going to be

conversational.

Here's what you do.

First, one of the

things you can raise

with her is, you're

like on the dance

floor.

Honey, how are we

doing?

Are we at peace?

You're treasuring Jesus.

You're thanking God.

You're asking for help.

Are we at peace,

sweetheart?

And if she says no,

you're dancing.

You just didn't,

you're no longer,

it's not like you're

not dancing.

Now you're dancing

because you're going

to make peace.

You're going to forgive

one another as God

and Christ forgave you.

You work it out.

That's part of the

dance.

Or maybe you ask a

spiritual question like,

honey, how are you

doing?

What are you reading

in your Bible?

Can you share it with

me?

What's God teaching you?

How's he growing you?

Are you being tempted

anywhere?

Are you struggling

with anything?

You will know your

wife well enough to

know what she struggles

with.

Ask her about it.

And sisters, when he

does, be honest,

lovingly, kindly,

humbly honest.

Brothers, one of the

most important things

here is a principle

of integrity.

You don't want to be

asking your wife about

her spiritual life

without tending to

your own.

And so, ask her these

questions having been

pursuant of Jesus

yourself.

Brothers, you can take

another step.

You can be leading her

in a step like this.

Sweetheart, hey, how

can we use more of our

financial resources to

advance the kingdom?

And if she says, you

can stop gambling, you

need to receive it as, oh,

thank you, sweetheart.

Totally right.

This is you leading,

opening yourself up.

When you ask these kinds

of questions and start

these kinds of

conversations, you're

obligating yourself to

follow through on it,

brothers.

That's why guys hide

from these kinds of

things.

Step in.

Be willing to follow

through.

There's more we can say.

I'm out of time.

But number five, dance

camp.

The Tipmans, they have a

ministry called Family

Life, and they put on

these weekend conferences

called Weekends to

Remember.

It's a marriage dance

camp.

And the next one that's

coming up that you

should know about is in

Madison.

It's next year, March

3rd, March 14th through

the 16th.

I think we should go to

dance camp together,

brothers and sisters.

Christian marriage is

like a dance.

Between a Christian

husband and a Christian

wife, the husband is

lovingly leading, the wife

is wisely following with

Christ as their

controlling center.

And you know what the

result is?

Christocentric

resonance.

Peace.

The word of Christ, the

name of Christ, ruling.

Marriage becomes a living

parable of the relationship

between Christ and the

church.

It's a great place to

raise children.

marriage.

Marriage is why we've come

together today.

It's not.

Christ is.

And Christ must be the

controlling center of our

marriages.

Do I have an amen?

Let me pray.

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

Lord, help us.

We are men and women, yes,

redeemed by your blood, yes,

filled by your spirit, yes,

we delight in your word, and

yes, we need help.

We need help, Lord.

Give us strength.

Give us wisdom.

I pray for the husbands of

our church that they would

delight in the responsibility

you've given them.

They would delight in it.

And love their wives as you,

Lord Jesus, has loved your

church.

And I pray for the wives of

our church that they would

gladly come under the loving

leadership of their husbands.

All for the glory of your name,

Jesus.

Amen.
