Thematic Bible




As then the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Verse ConceptsAbusive HusbandsChurchSubmissionChurch Authority, Of Jesus ChristLike Christ




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. Defraud not one another, except it may be by consent occasionally, that ye may have more leisure for fasting and prayer; and come together again, lest Satan tempt you through your incontinence.

Let your women be silent in the churches: for it is not permitted to them to speak: but to be in subjection, as also the law saith. Verse ConceptsChurchBeing A WomenWives, Duties OfGod ForbiddingThe churchWomen's RolesspeakingBeing A Woman Of Godorderwomanassertiveness



For the woman who is subject to a husband, is bound by the law to that husband during his life; but if the husband be dead, she is discharged from that husband. She shall therefore certainly be counted an adulteress, if, her husband being alive, she be for another man: but if her husband is dead, she is free from the law; so that she shall be no adulteress, though married to another husband.
