for as woman was made from man, so man is now made from woman, while both, like all things, come from God.)

and man was not created for woman, but woman for man.)

(Of course, in the Lord, woman does not exist apart from man, any more than man apart from woman;

you have had five husbands, and he whom you have now espoused is not your husband. That was a true word."

But I would like you to understand this: Christ is the head of every man, man is the head of woman, and God is the head of Christ.

and the pair shall be one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

(Man was not made from woman, woman was made from man;

the married man is anxious about worldly affairs, how best to satisfy his wife ??34 so he is torn in two directions. The unmarried woman or the maid is also anxious about the Lord's affairs, how to be consecrated, body and spirit; once married, she is anxious about worldly affairs, how best to satisfy her husband.

for the husband is the head of the wife as Christ also (though he is the saviour of the Body) is the head of the church;

Now about the questions in your letter. It is an excellent thing for a man to have no intercourse with a woman;

the wife cannot do as she pleases with her body ??her husband has power, and in the same way the husband cannot do as he pleases with his body ??his wife has power.

but there is so much immorality that every man had better have a wife of his own and every woman a husband of her own.

Man does not require to have a veil on his head, for he represents the likeness and supremacy of God; but woman represents the supremacy of man.

The husband must give the wife her conjugal dues, and the wife in the same way must give her husband his;

For Adam was created first, then Eve;

But from the beginning, when God created the world, Male and female, He created them:

For married people these are my instructions (and they are the Lord's, not mine). A wife is not to separate from her husband ??11 if she has separated, she must either remain single or be reconciled to him ??and a husband must not put away his wife.

However, let every man of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife reverence her husband.

O wife, how do you know you may not save your husband? O husband, how do you know you may not save your wife?

The woman replied, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You were right in saying, 'I have no husband';

He replied, "Have you never read that He who created them male and female from the beginning

and if any wife has a husband who is not a believer, and if he consents to live with her, she must not put her husband away.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her

Now at the resurrection whose wife will she be? They all had her."

and in the same way the males have abandoned the natural use of women and flamed out in lust for one another, men perpetrating shameless acts with their own sex and getting in their own persons the due recompense of their perversity.

The disciples said to him, "If that is a man's position with his wife, there is no good in marrying."

I allow no woman to teach or dictate to men, she must keep quiet.
