O Papel da Mulher

7 Husbands, also live with your wife the way you know is right. Respect her because she is a woman. She is not as strong as a man. Also respect her because God has given her, as well as you, the blessing of life. In this way, you will not stop God from doing what you ask him to do.

9 I also want women to wear the right kind of clothes. They should not make a show of themselves, but use good sense. They should not fix up their hair in a fancy way, or wear gold and fine stones, or clothes that cost much money.

11 In the same way, their wives must be women whom people respect. They must not tell lies about anyone. They must be able to control themselves. They must live so that people can trust them in all things.

1 Wives, respect and obey your husbands in the same way. Then the husbands who do not obey the word of God will want to know God. They will want to know God because their wives live good lives, even though they say nothing about God.

2 They will see that you live holy lives and respect your husbands.

3 You should not be fine on the outside only. Some women make their hair nice. They wear gold things. They have fine clothes.

4 But you must be fine in your heart. Have a heart that is gentle and quiet. That will not wear out. And God thinks it is worth very much.

5 There were holy women long ago who trusted in God. They made themselves nice in this way. They obeyed their husbands.

6 Sarah obeyed Abraham. She called him her master. You are her children if you do what is right and are not afraid of trouble.

22 Wives, obey your husbands as you obey the Lord.

23 The husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the church people. The church is his body and he saved it.

24 Wives should obey their husbands in everything, just as the church people obey Christ.

3 Tell the older women also that they must live like Christians. They must not tell lies about anyone. They must not drink much wine. They must teach what is good.

4 They must teach the young women to love their husbands and their children.

5 They must teach young women to have good sense, to live a clean life, to care for their homes, to be kind, and to obey their husbands. Then people cannot say wrong things about Gods word.

11 But the Lord did not make woman without man, and he did not make man without woman.

12 As woman comes from man, so man is born by woman. And everything comes from God.
