But a man named Ananias who, with his wife Sapphira, sold a farm of his, kept back some of the purchase price, with the connivance of his wife. He brought only a part and laid it at the apostles' feet. "Ananias," said Peter, "why has Satan so filled your heart that you are lying to the Holy Spirit, and keeping back part of the price of the land?read more.
"While it remained unsold, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was not the price at your own disposal? How could you conceive this act in your heart? You have not lied unto men, but unto God." As Ananias heard these words he fell down and expired, and all who heard were awe-struck. But the younger men rose, wrapped the body up, and carried it out to bury it. About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened; and Peter said to her, "Tell me if you got so much for the land." "Yes," she said, "so much." "Why was it," said Peter, "that you both agreed to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Lo, the feet of those who buried your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out." Instantly she fell down at his feet and expired, and when the young men came in they found her dead, and carried her out and buried her husband. And great fear fell on all the church and upon all who had heard it.

But I wish you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and of a wife her husband is head; and that God is head of Christ.

If a woman does not wear a veil, let her also cut off her hair; now if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her be veiled.

And man was not created for woman, but woman for man. For this reason the woman ought to have authority over her head, because of her guardian angels.

Wives likewise to their husbands as to the Lord, because a husband is the head of his wife even as Christ is head of the church, his body, which he saves. But as the church submits itself to Christ, so also wives to their husbands in everything.

They should train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind and submissive to their husbands, in order that God's message be not maligned.

My wish, then, is that in every place the men should offer prayer, lifting up holy hands, free from anger and disputation; in like manner also the women. I desire women to clothe themselves in suitable apparel, adorning themselves with reverence and self-restraint; not with hair plaited with gold or pearls, or with expensive clothes, but (as becomes women proclaiming godliness) with the ornament of good deeds.

But I wish you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and of a wife her husband is head; and that God is head of Christ.

If a woman does not wear a veil, let her also cut off her hair; now if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her be veiled. A man, indeed, ought not to have his head veiled, for he is an image and glory of God; but woman is a glory of man. For it is not man who was made from woman, but woman was made from man. And man was not created for woman, but woman for man. For this reason the woman ought to have authority over her head, because of her guardian angels. However, in the Lord neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman; for just as the woman was made from the man, so also is the man born of the woman, while they both come from God. Judge of this for your own selves. It is fitting that a woman should pray to God with her head unveiled. Nor does nature itself teach you that it is a disgrace to a man to have long hair, but it is woman's glory, because her hair has been given her instead of a veil. If, however, any one is inclined to be disputatious regarding such a custom, let him know that neither I nor the churches of God hold to such a custom.

It is well for a man to have no intercourse with a woman, but because there is so much immorality let each man have his own wife; and let each women have her own husband.

Wives likewise to their husbands as to the Lord, because a husband is the head of his wife even as Christ is head of the church, his body, which he saves. But as the church submits itself to Christ, so also wives to their husbands in everything.read more.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her, in order that after cleansing her in the bath of baptism, he might sanctify her by his word, so as to present her to himself, the church glorified, without spot or wrinkle or any such blemish; but on the contrary holy and faultless. That is how husbands ought to love their wives, as they love their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it as Christ does the church; for we are members of his body. For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. There is a deep mystery here?? am speaking of Christ and his church. But as for you individually, you must each one of you love his own wife exactly as if she were yourself; and the wife, on her part, should reverence her husband.

Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting for Christians. Husbands, be loving to your wives, and be not cross or surly with them.

They were ever in submission to their own husbands; thus, for example, Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are daughters of Sarah, if you do what is right, and permit nothing to make you afraid. In the same way you husbands live with your wives, according to knowledge, honoring your wife as of the weaker sex, yet as an heir with yourself of the grace of life; so that your prayers may not be hindered.

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, murdering the prophets, and stoning those who have been sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!
