and he saith, 'Hagar, Sarai's handmaid, whence hast thou come, and whither dost thou go?' and she saith, 'From the presence of Sarai, my mistress, I am fleeing.'

And they say unto him, 'Where is Sarah thy wife?' and he saith, 'Lo -- in the tent;'

Noisy she is, and stubborn, In her house her feet rest not.

A woman of worth who doth find? Yea, far above rubies is her price.

and at the same time also, they learn to be idle, going about the houses; and not only idle, but also tattlers and busybodies, speaking the things they ought not;

Good

And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha, (which interpreted, is called Dorcas,) this woman was full of good works and kind acts that she was doing;

in good works being testified to: if she brought up children, if she entertained strangers, if saints' feet she washed, if those in tribulation she relieved, if every good work she followed after;

Obedient

Unto the woman He said, 'Multiplying I multiply thy sorrow and thy conception, in sorrow dost thou bear children, and toward thy husband is thy desire, and he doth rule over thee.'

The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord,

The wives! be subject to your own husbands, as is fit in the Lord;

Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection,

In like manner, the wives, be ye subject to your own husbands, that even if certain are disobedient to the word, through the conversation of the wives, without the word, they may be won,

That

only, because thou hast caused the enemies of Jehovah greatly to despise by this thing, also the son who is born to thee doth surely die.'

Till when, O God, doth an adversary reproach? Doth an enemy despise thy name for ever?

for the name of God because of you is evil spoken of among the nations, according as it hath been written.

I wish, therefore, younger ones to marry, to bear children, to be mistress of the house, to give no occasion to the opposer to reviling;

As many as are servants under a yoke, their own masters worthy of all honour let them reckon, that the name of God and the teaching may not be evil spoken of;
