7 Bible Verses about Role Of Women In The Church

But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ. Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her headit is the same as if her head were shaved.read more.
For if a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, let her cover her head. For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man; neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. For as woman was made from man, so also man is born of woman. And all things are from God.

Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is himself the Savior.

I also want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and sensibly, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly garments, but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess godliness. Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness.read more.
I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

The women must likewise be dignified, not malicious gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things.

A widow is to be put on the list only if she is not less than sixty years old, having been the wife of one husband, and she must be well known for her good deeds, as one who has brought up children, shown hospitality, washed the feet of the saints, relieved those in distress, and devoted herself to doing good in every way. But refuse to put younger widows on the list, for when they feel sensual desires in disregard of Christ, they want to marry,read more.
thus bringing condemnation, because they have set aside their first pledge. Besides, they learn to be idle, going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things they ought not to. So I would have younger widows marry, bear children, manage their homes, and give the enemy no occasion for reproach.

The older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not to be slanderers or slaves to much wine, but they are to teach what is good, so they can train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.

You wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without a word by the behavior of their wives, when they see your chaste and respectful behavior.

but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God's sight.

And you are her children if you do what is right and are not frightened by any fear.
