'Husbands' in the Bible

But Naomi replied, “Return home, my daughters. Why do you want to go with me? Am I able to have any more sons who could become your husbands?

For the queen’s action will become public knowledge to all the women and cause them to despise their husbands and say, ‘King Ahasuerus ordered Queen Vashti brought before him, but she did not come.’

The decree the king issues will be heard throughout his vast kingdom, so all women will honor their husbands, from the least to the greatest.”

Therefore, hand their children over to famine,and pour the sword’s power on them.Let their wives become childless and widowed,their husbands slain by deadly disease,their young men struck down by the sword in battle.

And the women said, “When we burned incense to the queen of heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, was it apart from our husbands’ knowledge that we made sacrificial cakes in her image and poured out drink offerings to her?”

You are the daughter of your mother, who despised her husband and children. You are the sister of your sisters, who despised their husbands and children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.

Listen to this message, you cows of Bashanwho are on the hill of Samaria,women who oppress the poorand crush the needy,who say to their husbands,“Bring us something to drink.”

“For you’ve had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”

And if they want to learn something, they should ask their own husbands at home, for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church meeting.

Wives, submit to your own husbands as to the Lord,

Now as the church submits to Christ, so wives are to submit to their husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her

In the same way, husbands are to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

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

Husbands, love your wives and don’t be bitter toward them.

Deacons must be husbands of one wife, managing their children and their own households competently.

so they may encourage the young women to love their husbands and to love their children,

to be self-controlled, pure, homemakers, kind, and submissive to their husbands, so that God’s message will not be slandered.

In the same way, wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, even if some disobey the Christian message, they may be won over without a message by the way their wives live

For in the past, the holy women who put their hope in God also beautified themselves in this way, submitting to their own husbands,

Husbands, in the same way, live with your wives with an understanding of their weaker nature yet showing them honor as coheirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
