Duties of Wives

~ Colossians 3:18 

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

~ Titus 2:3-5

3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 

4 Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, 

5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

~ 1 Peter 3:1-6 

1 Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 

2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 

3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. 

4 Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. 

5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, 

6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.

~ 1 Timothy 2:9-15 

9 I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 

10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 

12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. 

13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 

14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 

15 But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

~ 1 Corinthians 14:34-36 

34 women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. 

35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.

36 Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached?
