Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies.Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life.She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.She finds wool and flax and busily spins it.She is like a merchant’s ship, bringing her food from afar.She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.She goes to inspect a field and buys it; with her earnings she plants a vineyard.She is energetic and strong, a hard worker.She makes sure her dealings are profitable; her lamp burns late into the night.Her hands are busy spinning thread, her fingers twisting fiber.She extends a helping hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy.She has no fear of winter for her household, for everyone has warm clothes.She makes her own bedspreads. She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns.Her husband is well known at the city gates, where he sits with the other civic leaders.She makes belted linen garments and sashes to sell to the merchants.She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness.She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness.Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her:“ There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!”Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting for those who belong to the Lord.

She must be well respected by everyone because of the good she has done. Has she brought up her children well? Has she been kind to strangers and served other believers humbly? Has she helped those who are in trouble? Has she always been ready to do good?

In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won overby observing your pure and reverent lives.Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes.You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.This is how the holy women of old made themselves beautiful. They put their trust in God and accepted the authority of their husbands.

And if they are on the list, they will learn to be lazy and will spend their time gossiping from house to house, meddling in other people’s business and talking about things they shouldn’t.So I advise these younger widows to marry again, have children, and take care of their own homes. Then the enemy will not be able to say anything against them.

So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

Then he said to the woman,“ I will sharpen the pain of your pregnancy, and in pain you will give birth. And you will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you.”

All slaves should show full respect for their masters so they will not bring shame on the name of God and his teaching.

There was a believer in Joppa named Tabitha( which in Greek is Dorcas). She was always doing kind things for others and helping the poor.

But there is one thing I want you to know: The head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord.For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church.As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything.

Women should learn quietly and submissively.I do not let women teach men or have authority over them. Let them listen quietly.

She was the brash, rebellious type, never content to stay at home.

Nevertheless, because you have shown utter contempt for the word of the Lord by doing this, your child will die.”

“ Where is Sarah, your wife?” the visitors asked.“ She’s inside the tent,” Abraham replied.

No wonder the Scriptures say,“ The Gentiles blaspheme the name of God because of you.”

So Peter returned with them; and as soon as he arrived, they took him to the upstairs room. The room was filled with widows who were weeping and showing him the coats and other clothes Dorcas had made for them.

How long, O God, will you allow our enemies to insult you? Will you let them dishonor your name forever?

The angel said to her,“ Hagar, Sarai’s servant, where have you come from, and where are you going?”“ I’m running away from my mistress, Sarai,” she replied.The angel of the Lord said to her,“ Return to your mistress, and submit to her authority.”

Women should be silent during the church meetings. It is not proper for them to speak. They should be submissive, just as the law says.
