24 She makes fine linen and sells it. She supplies sashes for the merchants.
25 Strength and honor are her clothing. She will rejoice in time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom and in her tongue is the law of kindness she speaks kind things.
27 She watches over her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness.
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? For her value is far above corals.
11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her. He will have no lack of gain.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool, and flax, and works willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchants' ships for she brings her food from afar.
15 She rises while it is still night and provides food for her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16 She considers a field and buys it. With the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
17 She fortifies herself with strength and strengthens her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is good. Her candle does not go out at night.
19 She stretches her hands to the spindle and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretches out her hand to the poor. Yes, she reaches forth her hands to the needy.
7 In the same way, you husbands live with your wives in an understanding way. Honor the woman as the weaker vessel. For you are joint-heirs of the grace of life. May your prayers not be hindered cut-offblocked.
1 In like manner, you wives, be in subjection to your own husbands. Even if your husband does not obey Gods word, he may be won without a word by observing the way you live.
2 Your husband could see your chaste behavior coupled with respect reverence.
3 Your appearance should not come from the outward adornment, things like braiding the hair, and wearing jewels of gold, or wearing fine apparel.
4 Let your appearance be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible apparel of a meek and quiet spirit. This is of great value in the sight of God.
5 The holy women of old, who hoped in God, adorned themselves this way, being submissive to their own husbands.
6 Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. You are her children now, if you do what is right and are not fearful.
3 Aged women likewise should be reverent in behavior and teachers of that which is good. They should not be slanderers nor enslaved to too much wine.
4 They may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God will not be defamed dishonored.
11 Women in like manner must be serious, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.
9 Likewise I want women to be adorned in modest clothing, with modesty and soundness of mind; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly clothes;
22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the congregation, he being the savior of the body.
24 The congregation is subject to Christ. Likewise let the wives also be to their husbands in everything.
1 Every wise woman builds her house, but the foolish pulls it down with her own hands.
27 God created man in his own image. In the image of God he created him. He created male and female.
28 God blessed them and said to them: »Be fruitful and increase in number. Fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and dominate the birds of the air. Have dominion over every living creature that moves on the ground.«
16 He said to the woman: »I will greatly increase your pains in childbirth; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.«
8 My son, listen to the instruction of your father. Do not forsake the law of your mother.
11 However in the Lord, both men and women exist together. Not one without the other.
12 For as woman is from man, even so is man also from woman. But all things are from God!
18 Jehovah God said: »It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.«
