18 Bible Verses about Rights

Let the husband render to the wife due benevolence, and in like manner also the wife to the husband. The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: in like manner also the husband has not power over his own body, but the wife.

Wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ is the head of the church; and is himself the saviour of the body. As then the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.read more.
Husbands, love your own wives, as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify it, purifying it in the laver of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having blemish, nor wrinkle, nor any such things; but that it may be holy and unblameable. So ought husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself. For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: for we are the members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this reason shall a man forsake his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and the two shall be as one flesh. This mystery is great: but I am speaking with regard to Christ, and with regard to the church. Nevertheless let every one of you individually see that each love his own wife even as himself; but the wife that she stand in awe of the husband.

Children, be obedient to your parents in all things; for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.

He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit on my throne, as I also have overcome, and have sat down with my Father on his throne.

AM I not an apostle? am I not a free man? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord? If I am not an apostle unto others, doubtless I am to you: for ye are the seal of my apostolic mission in the Lord. My apology to those who interrogate me is this,read more.
Have we not power to eat and drink? Have we not power to carry about with us a sister wife, as do also the other apostles, even the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? or I alone and Barnabas, have we not power to forbear labour? Who goeth at any time to war at his own expences? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit of it? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? Speak I these things [rationally] as a man, or doth not the law speak the same things? for in the law of Moses it is written, "Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox which treadeth out the corn." Doth God take care for oxen? or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes doubtless it was written; because he who ploweth ought to plow in hope, and he who soweth in hope should be partaker of his hope. If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we should reap your corporal things? if others partake of this power over you, ought not we much more? But we have not used this power, and we suffer all things, that we might not put any obstruction in the way of the gospel of Christ. Know ye not that they who are employed about the holy things, are fed from the temple? and they who serve at the altar, partake with the altar? So also the Lord hath commanded to those who preach the gospel, that they should live by the gospel. But I have used nothing of these things, nor have I written indeed these things, that it should be so done respecting me; for it would become me to die rather than that any man should make my glorying void. For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me, yea verily woe is to me if I preach not the gospel. For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if unwillingly, I am entrusted with the dispensation [of it].

Let the elders who preside properly be counted worthy of double honour, especially those who are laborious in preaching and teaching. For the Scripture saith, "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox while he treadeth out the corn." And again, "The labourer is worthy of his hire."

Then saith Jesus unto him, Avaunt Satan! for it is written, "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and to him only thou pay divine adoration."

God is a Spirit: and they who worship him, must worship him in spirit and in truth.
