Do you remember how he told you when he was still in Galilee that the Son of man had to be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and to rise on the third day?"

that older women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers or slaves to much wine, but teachers of what is right.

Now a certain Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, a learned man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus. He had been instructed in the ways of the Lord, and being full of zeal, he used to speak and to teach accurately the facts about Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.

I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a minister of the church at Cenchrae. I beg you to give her a Christian welcome, as the saints should; and to assist her in any matter in which she may have need of you. For she herself has been made an overseer to many people, including myself.

and Andronicus and Junia, my kinsfolk and fellow prisoners, who are notable among the apostles, and who became Christians before I did.
but every woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head (her husband). for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven. 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.read more.
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.
for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. This custom prevails in all the churches of the saints. "In your congregation" you write, "as in all the churches of the saints, let the women keep silence in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak. On the contrary let them be subordinate, as also says the law. And if they want to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a women to speak in church."
Six months later the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee, called Nazareth, to a maiden betrothed to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. Her name was Mary. The angel went in and said to her. "Joy to you, highly favored one! "The Lord is with you."read more.
Mary was greatly agitated at his word, and was revolving in her mind what this salutation could mean. when the angel said to her. "Fear not Mary, for you have found grace with God. "And behold, you shall conceive in your womb and bear a son; and you shall call his name Jesus. "He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High. "And the Lord God will give him the throne of his forefather David, "and he shall reign over the House of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end." And Mary said to the angel. "How can this be? For I have no husband?" "The Holy Spirit shall come upon you," said the angel, "and the power of the most High shall overshadow you, and therefore the holy offspring which is born, shall be called the son of God. "And behold your kinswoman, Elizabeth, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this was the sixth month with her that was called barren. "For no word of God shall be void of power." Then Mary said: "Behold I am Lord's slave. Let it be to me as you have said." Then the angel departed from her. Soon after this Mary set out and hastened unto the hill-country to a town in Judah; and there she came into the house of Zachariah, and greeted Elizabeth. And when Elizabeth heard her salutation, the babe leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth herself was filled with the Holy Spirit, and called out with a loud cry. "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is your unborn child! "But why is this honor done me, that the mother of my Lord should come me? "For behold when the sound of your salutation reached my ears, the babe leaped with joy within my womb. "And blessed is she who believed that the Lord's words spoken to her would be fulfilled." And Mary said: "My soul doth magnify the Lord, "My spirit exults in the God, who is my Saviour, "For he has regarded the humiliation of his slave, And from this hour all ages will count me blessed. "For he who is mighty has done great things for me; And holy is his name. "His mercy is unto generations and generations on those who reverence him. "He has showed strength with his arm. "He has scattered proud in the imagination of their hearts; "he has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted those of low degree. "The hungry he has filled with good things, But the rich he has sent empty away. "He has helped Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy, "As he spoke to our forefathers, to Abraham and his offspring forever." So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and returned home.

But Mary treasured up all those words, Often pondering on them in her heart.
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.
It happened shortly afterwards that he began to go from town to town and village to village, preaching and telling the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him, and certain women whom he had delivered from evil spirits and various diseases. Mary of Magdala, out of whom seven demons have been driven, and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many other women, who used to minister to him out of their substance.
But exclude from the list the younger widows; for where they have become wanton against Christ, they desire to marry, and incur condemnation because they have broken their first troth. Moreover, they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and are not only idlers, but gossips also, and busybodies, repeating things they ought not.read more.
It is my wish, then, that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule their houses, and give no occasion to our adversary for railing. For already some widows have gone astray after Satan. Any believing woman, who has widowed relatives, ought to relieve them and not let the church be burdened with them; so that the church may relieve the really destitute widows.
But a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him, and touched the tassel of his cloak. For she said to herself, "If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured." But Jesus turned and saw her and said, "Be of good courage, daughter, your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that hour.
In the same way you wives must be submissive to your own husbands; so that if some of them will not believe the message, they may apart from the message be won over by the behavior of their wives, when they see how pure and reverent you are. Your adornment ought not to be the outward adornment of plaited hair and golden jewels and the wearing of beautiful dresses;read more.
but rather that hidden personality of the heart, the imperishable ornament of a quiet and gentle spirit, which in the sight of God is indeed precious. For in this way in the olden time the holy women also, who put their trust in God, used to adorn themselves. 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.
Now there was a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, but was no better; on the contrary, rather grew worse. She had heard about Jesus, so she came in the crowd behind and touched his cloak.read more.
"If I can touch even his clothes," she kept saying to herself, "I shall get well." At once the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her complaint. Jesus, instantly conscious that the power within him had gone forth, turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my clothes?" "You see the crowd thronging about you," said his disciples, "and yet you say, 'Who touched me?'" But he kept looking about to see who had done it, and the woman knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. "Daughter," he said, "your faith has saved you. Go in peace, and be cured of your complaint."
Now in these days while the number of the disciples was multiplying, the Grecian Jews began to murmur against the Hebrews, because their widows were habitually overlooked in the distribution of alms.
Do not reprimand an aged man, but continue pleading with him as if he were your father. Treat the young men as brothers, the older women as mothers, the younger women as sisters in all purity. Ever honor widows who are really widows;read more.
but if any widow has children or grandchildren, let these learn to show their piety first toward their own household, and to make some return to their parents, for that is pleasing in God's sight. Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has fixed her hope on God, and devotes herself to supplications and prayers, day and night. But she who lives in wantonness is dead even while she still lives. Keep admonishing them regarding these things, so that they may be irreproachable. But if any one fails to provide for his own, and especially for his kindred, he has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel. A widow, to be placed upon the list, must be not less than sixty years old, and one who has been the wife of but one husband. She must be well reputed for good works, as one who has brought up a family, received strangers with hospitality, washed the feet of the saints, relieved the distressed, and diligently followed every good work.
And a woman who for twelve years had had a hemorrhage, and had spent on doctors all that she had, but none had cured her, came close behind him, and touched the hem of his garment; and instantly the hemorrhage ceased. "Who is that touched me?" said Jesus and when everybody denied it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds are hemming you in and pressing upon you."read more.
But Jesus said: "Some one did touch me; for I perceived that the power was proceeding out of me." Then the woman, who saw that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and falling down before him, stated before the people for what reason she had touched him, and how she had been instantly healed. "Daughter," he said "your faith has made you well, go on into peace."
Jesus then left that place, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon. Behold, there came to him a Canaanite woman of those parts. She wailed loudly, saying. "Pity me, Lord, thou Son of David! My daughter is possessed of an evil spirit." But he answered her not a word. Then the disciples came up and kept beseeching him. "Send her away," they said, "because she wails after us."read more.
In reply he said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." But the woman came and knelt to him and said, "Lord, do help me." He answered, "It is not seemly to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs." "True, Lord," she said, "but even the little dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table." Then Jesus answered her. "O woman, great is your faith. It shall be for you even as you desire." And from that hour her daughter was healed.
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.
After he rose and left that place, he went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon. Here he went into a house and wished no one to know it but he could not be hid. Forthwith a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet (the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by race), and again and again she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.read more.
"Let the children be filled first," he said to her. "It is unseemly to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs." "True, Master," she answered, "but the dogs under the table do pick up the children's crumbs." "For that saying of yours, go home," he replied; "the demon has departed from your daughter." So she went home, and found the child lying in her bed and the demon departed.
It was Adam who was first formed, then Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived; but it was the woman who was thoroughly deceived, and who became involved in transgression.

And if you belong to Christ, then you are the descendants of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.
Then Jesus took his seat opposite the treasury and watched the people putting their offerings into the chest. Many rich people were putting in large sums. There came also a poor widow who dropped in two little coins, worth a cent. On this he called his disciples to him, and said: "I tell you solemnly that this poor widow has put in more than all who have put their offerings into the treasury;read more.
for they have all put in what they could spare out of their surplus, but she, out of her penury, has put in all that she possessed, her whole living."
For a married woman who has a husband is bound by law to her husband during his lifetime; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband. So then, if during her husband lifetime, she unites herself with another man, she will be counted an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the Law, so that she is no adulteress, even if she unites herself with another man.
And he looked up and saw people casting their offerings into the treasury, and they were rich. And he saw a certain poor widow casting in two mites And he said: "Of truth I tell you that this poor widow has put in more than they all;read more.
"for these men have all contributed to the offering out of their surplus, but she, out of her want, contributed all she had to live on."
Now concerning the question in your letter. 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. Let the husband give his wife her due, and likewise the wife her husband. The wife is not mistress of her own person,read more.
but her husband is; and in the same way the husband is not master of his own person, but his wife is. Do not refuse one another, unless it is only temporary and by mutual consent, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again, lest through your lack of self-control Satan begin to tempt you to sin.
It happened as they went on their way that he entered into a certain village were a woman named Martha received him into her house. She had a sister named Mary, who after seating herself at the Lord's feet was listening to his teaching. But Martha meanwhile was growing distracted about much serving. She came up to him and said: "Lord do you not care that my sister has left me alone to do the serving? Come tell her to take hold of her end of the work along with me."read more.
"Martha, Martha," said Jesus, "you are anxious and worried about many things, "only one thing is really necessary. Mary, moreover, has chosen that good part which shall not be taken away from her."
It was about noon, and a woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink" (for his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.) "How is it," answered the Samaritan woman, "that you who are a Jew ask a drink from me, a woman, and a Samaritan?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)read more.
"If you had known the free gift of God," Jesus answered, "and who it is that says to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water." "Sir," said the woman, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; whence have you that living water? Surely you are not greater than our Father Jacob, who gave us the well, and used to drink from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle, too?" "All who drink of this water," Jesus answered, "will thirst again; but whoever once drinks of the water that I will give him, shall never thirst any more, but the water that I will give him shall become a living spring of water within him, welling up into eternal life." "Sir!" exclaimed the woman, "give me this water, so that I may not be thirsty, nor come all this way to draw water." Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and then come here." "I have no husband," answered the woman. "You are right in saying 'I have no husband,'" Jesus said to her, "for you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband; in this you have spoken truly." "I see, Sir, that you are a prophet," replied the woman. "Our forefathers worshiped in this mountain, yet you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship." "Woman, believe me," said Jesus, "that the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You are worshiping something you do not know. we know what we worship, for salvation comes from the Jews. But an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father is seeking such as his worshipers. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." "I know," said the woman, "that Messiah is coming, who is called the Christ; when he has come he will tell us everything." Jesus said to her, "I who am now talking to you, am he." Just then his disciples came up, and were astonished that he was talking with a woman; yet not one of them asked him, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?" Then the woman left her water-jar, and went away into the city and began saying to the people. "Come! see a man who has told me everything that I ever did. He can't be the Christ, can he?" They left the city and set out to go to him.
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.
so when Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been four days in the tomb. Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, only about two miles away; so a number of the Jews had gone to Martha and Mary to sympathize with them concerning their brother.read more.
So when Martha learned that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary remained sitting in the house. Then Martha said to Jesus. "Master, had you been here my brother would not have died; but even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you." Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." Martha answered, "I know that he will rise in the resurrection, at the Last Day." "I am the resurrection and the life," said Jesus. "He who believes in me, even if he has died, shall live. And every one who is living and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" "Yes, Master," she answered, "I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world." With these words she went away to call her sister Mary, saying privately, "The Teacher is here and is asking for you." So when Mary heard this, she rose quickly and went to meet him. Jesus had not yet arrived in the village, but was still at the place where Martha met him. Then the Jews who were in the house trying to console her, when they saw that Mary rose quickly and went out, followed her, because they thought she was going to the tomb to weep there. When Mary came to the place where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master had you been here, my brother would not have died." Then when Jesus saw her sobbing, and the Jews likewise who accompanied her, sobbing, he shuddered with indignation in his spirit, and was deeply agitated. "Where have you laid him?" he said: "Master, come and see," they answered. Jesus burst into tears. "See how he loved him," said the Jews. But some of them said, "Could not this man, who has opened the eyes of the blind man, have prevented this man also from dying?" Jesus therefore, again shuddering in himself with indignation, came to the tomb, which was a cave with a stone lying upon it. "Roll away the stone," said Jesus. "Master," said Martha, the sister of the dead man "he is offensive by this time, for he has been four days in the tomb." Jesus answered her, "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you should see the glory of God?" Then they rolled the stone away; and Jesus lifted up his eyes and said: "Father, I thank thee that thou hast listened to me. And I knew that thou art ever listening to me, but for the sake of the crowd who are standing about, I said it, in order that they may believe that thou hast sent me." When he had said this he cried with a great voice, "Lazarus, come forth!" Out came the dead man, wrapped hand and foot with grave-clothes, and his face bound up in a napkin.

Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting for Christians.
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.
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.
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.read more.
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.

In him there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Now as we were going to the place of prayer, a certain slave girl met us, who had a spirit of divination, and who brought her masters great gain by fortune-telling. She used to follow after Paul and us, crying out again and again, "These men are servants of the most high God, who proclaimed to you the way of salvation." She persisted in this for many days, until Paul, worn out, turned round and said to the spirit, "I charge you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her." In that very hour it came out of her.read more.
But when her owners saw that their hopes of gain were gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them before the magistrates, into the market-place. Then they brought them before the praetors, saying. "These fellows are Jews, who are making a great disturbance in our city. "They are teaching customs which it is not lawful for us as Romans to adopt or practise."
On the Sabbath Day we went outside the city gate, to a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and talked to the women who had gathered there. Among them was a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, who belonged to the town of Thyatira. She, since she was a worshiper of God, listened to us, and the Lord opened her heart to attend to what Paul said. When she was baptized, and her household, she urged us, saying, "If in your judgment I am a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house." And she compelled us to come.

Then the women who had accompanied him out of Galilee followed after, and noted the tomb, and how his body was placed. Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes.
On the Sabbath Day they rested in obedience to the commandment, but in the deep dawn of the first day of the week they took the spices which they had prepared, and came to the tomb. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, and on entering they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. read more.
While they were still perplexed over this, it happened that the two men stood near them in dazzling raiment. They were terrified, and bowed down their faces to the ground, but the men said to them. "Why are you seeking him who lives among the dead? "He is not here; he is risen. Do you remember how he told you when he was still in Galilee that the Son of man had to be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and to rise on the third day?" Then they recollected his words, and turning away from the tomb they told all this to the eleven, and to all the rest. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James, and the rest of the women who were telling all this to the apostles.
So Joseph bought him a sheet, and took Jesus down, wound him in the sheet, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock, and then rolled a stone against the opening of the tomb; and Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were watching to see where he was laid.
When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, and Salome brought spices in order to go and anoint him. And very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb as the sun was rising; and they kept saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb?" read more.
But then as they looked up they saw that the stone, which was a very large one, was already rolled away; and upon entering the tomb they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe.

but every woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head (her husband). for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven. 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.

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.
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.

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, while it was yet dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and discovered that the stone had been removed from the tomb. So she came running to Simon Peter and that other disciple whom Jesus loved, saying, "They have taken the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him!"
Meanwhile, outside, Mary stood sobbing near the tomb. Still sobbing she stooped and looked into the tomb, and gazed at two angels in glistening white sitting, one at the head the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

So she at once hurried in to the king and made her request, "I want you," she said, "to give me, without delay, the head of John the Baptist on a charger." Then the king was exceedingly sorry; yet on account of his oaths and his guests he was unwilling to disappoint her. So he sent at once a soldier of the guard with orders to bring his head. And he went and beheaded John in prison, brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young girl, and she gave it to her mother.

but every woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head (her husband). for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven. 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. read more.
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.
