Thematic Bible: Duties of, to their husbands


Thematic Bible




And as the church is under Christ's authority, so let wives be under the rule of their husbands in all things. Verse ConceptsAbusive HusbandsChurchSubmissionChurch Authority, Of Jesus ChristLike Christ




Let the husband give to the wife what is right; and let the wife do the same to the husband. The wife has not power over her body, but the husband; and in the same way the husband has not power over his body, but the wife. Do not keep back from one another what is right, but only for a short time, and by agreement, so that you may give yourselves to prayer, and come together again; so that Satan may not get the better of you through your loss of self-control.

Let women keep quiet in the churches: for it is not right for them to be talking; but let them be under control, as it says in the law. Verse ConceptsChurchBeing A WomenWives, Duties OfGod ForbiddingThe churchWomen's RolesspeakingBeing A Woman Of Godorderwomanassertiveness

For the woman who has a husband is placed by the law under the power of her husband as long as he is living; but if her husband is dead, she is free from the law of the husband. So if, while the husband is living, she is joined to another man, she will get the name of one who is untrue to her husband: but if the husband is dead, she is free from the law, so that she is not untrue, even if she takes another man.
