7 Bible Verses about Role Of Women In The Church

but I would have you take notice, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the wife, is the man; and the head of Christ, is God. every man who prays or prophesies having his head covered, dishonoureth him who is his head: but every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered, dishonoureth the man who is her head: for it is the same thing as if her head was shav'd.read more.
a woman may as well have the tonsure, as not wear her veil: the one is as indecent as the other. A man ought not to be veil'd: he has the honour of being invested with authority from God, and may glory in his priority to the woman. for the man was not taken from the woman: but the woman from the man. nor was the man copied from the woman: but the woman from the man. therefore the woman ought to be veil'd, out of regard to the angels. however, the man and the woman are equal with respect to the Lord. for as the woman was taken from the man, so man is born of the woman: and all are from God.

and that the women be decent in their apparel, adorned with modesty and reserve, not with broider'd hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; but, as becomes women, who make a profession of religion, to be adorn'd with virtue. Let the women with submissive silence attend to instruction.read more.
for I don't allow a woman to be a teacher, nor to dictate to her husband; but let her be silent. for Adam was the first that was form'd, then Eve. Adam was not seduc'd, but the woman, who was the cause of his transgression. however the women may be saved by educating their children, and persevering themselves in faith, in charity, in holiness and chastity. this may be depended upon as true.

their wives must be likewise grave, free from scandal, sober, and always faithful.

Let none be put upon the list of widows, but such as are at least threescore years of age, and have been married but once: such as have been recommended by their good actions, by the education of their children, by their hospitality, by their officiousness to the faithful, by relieving the afflicted, and by the practice of every virtue. as for young widows, don't admit them: for being impatient of religious restraint, they will be marry'd:read more.
for which they are much to be condemn'd, because they violate the engagements they had before enter'd into: besides, having nothing to do, they get the habit of rambling from one house to another, and are not only idling, but prattle and intermeddle, and utter what is not decent. I enjoin therefore the young women to marry, to detest abortion, to govern their families, and give our enemies no handle for reproach.

in charity, in patience: the aged women likewise, to behave with sanctity of manners, not false accusers, not given to tipling, but to lectures on virtue, that they may teach the young women prudence, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, good oeconimists, beneficent, submissive to their husbands,

Let the married women be subservient to their husbands, that if they happen to disbelieve the gospel, they may be gain'd by the instructive conduct of their wives, by observing the religious chastity of their manners. let their ornament consist, not in what is external, in curling the hair, in appendages of gold, or finery of dress;read more.
but in the internal qualities of the mind, in that purity, in that mild and dispassionate temper, which is so acceptable to the divine being. the holy religious women of former times were thus adorned, and were submissive to their husbands. such was Sarah, who show'd her obeysance to Abraham, by stiling him her Lord: and you will be stiled her children, if you imitate her conduct, and are not to be terrified out of your virtue.
