Thematic Bible: The duties of a wife

Wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, as to the Lord. Verse Concepts

Wives be subject to your own husbands, as is fit in the Lord. Verse Concepts

NOW with regard to those things concerning which ye have written unto me, it were good for a man not to touch a woman. But because of the whoredoms, let every man have his own wife, and every wife her own husband. Let the husband render to the wife due benevolence, and in like manner also the wife to the husband.

LIKEWISE, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, even if some obey not the word, by their wives' conduct without the word, they may be won over; being eye-witnesses of your chaste behaviour with timidity. Whose adorning let it not be that exterior one of braided locks, and golden trimmings, and dresses put on with nicety; read more.
but let it be the hidden man of the heart, with that incorruptible ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God highly valuable. For so in times of old the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands; as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye are, if ye do well, and are not affrighted with any terror.
