O Papel da Mulher

7 Married men, in the same way, live with your wives with a clear recognition of the fact that they are weaker than you. Yet, since you are heirs with them of God's free gift of Life, treat them with honour; so that your prayers may not be hindered.

9 and I would have the women dress becomingly, with modesty and self-control, not with plaited hair or gold or pearls or costly clothes,

11 Deaconesses, in the same way, must be sober-minded women, not slanderers, but in every way temperate and trustworthy.

1 Married women, in the same way, be submissive to your husbands, so that even if some of them disbelieve the Message, they may, apart from the Message, be won over by the daily life of their wives, after watching your daily life–

2 so full of reverence, and so blameless!

3 Your adornment ought not to be a merely outward thing–one of plaiting the hair, putting on jewelry, or wearing beautiful dresses.

4 Instead of that, it should be a new nature within–the imperishable ornament of a gentle and peaceful spirit, which is indeed precious in the sight of God.

5 For in ancient times also this was the way the holy women who set their hopes upon God used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their husbands.

6 Thus, for instance, Sarah obeyed Abraham, acknowledging his authority over her. And you have become Sarah's children if you do what is right and permit nothing whatever to terrify you.

22 Married women, submit to your own husbands as if to the Lord;

23 because a husband is the Head of his wife as Christ also is the Head of the Church, being indeed the Saviour of this His Body.

24 And just as the Church submits to Christ, so also married women should be entirely submissive to their husbands.

3 In the same way exhort aged women to let their conduct be such as becomes consecrated persons. They must not be slanderers nor enslaved to wine-drinking. They must be teachers of what is right.

4 They should school the young women to be affectionate to their husbands and to their children, to be sober-minded, pure in their lives,

5 industrious in their homes, kind, submissive to their husbands, so that the Christian teaching may not be exposed to reproach.

11 Yet, in the Lord, woman is not independent of man nor man independent of woman.

12 For just as woman originates from man, so also man comes into existence through woman, but everything springs originally from God.
