Thematic Bible: Duties of, to their husbands


Thematic Bible




But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.





The husband must fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.


The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says.

to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.




For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband. So then, if while her husband is living she is joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress though she is joined to another man.
