'Woman' in the Bible

But because there is so much fornication every man should have a wife of his own, and every woman should have a husband.

Let a man pay his wife her due, and let a woman also pay her husband his.

A married woman is not mistress of her own person: her husband has certain rights. In the same way a married man is not master of his own person: his wife has certain rights.

And a woman who has an unbelieving husband--if he consents to live with her, let her not separate from him.

For, in such cases, the unbelieving husband has become--and is--holy through union with a Christian woman, and the unbelieving wife is holy through union with a Christian brother. Otherwise your children would be unholy, but in reality they have a place among God's people.

If, however, the unbeliever is determined to leave, let him or her do so. Under such circumstances the Christian man or woman is no slave; God has called us to live lives of peace.

For what assurance have you, O woman, as to whether you will save your husband? Or what assurance have you, O man, as to whether you will save your wife?

There is a difference too between a married and an unmarried woman. She who is unmarried concerns herself with the Lord's business--that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but the married woman concerns herself with the business of the world--how she shall please her husband.

A woman is bound to her husband during the whole period that he lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to marry whom she will, provided that he is a Christian.

I would have you know, however, that of every man, Christ is the Head, that of a woman her husband is the Head, and that God is Christ's Head.

but a woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her Head, for it is exactly the same as if she had her hair cut short.

If a woman will not wear a veil, let her also cut off her hair. But since it is a dishonor to a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her wear a veil.

For a man ought not to have a veil on his head, since he is the image and glory of God; while woman is the glory of man.

Man does not take his origin from woman, but woman takes hers from man.

For man was not created for woman's sake, but woman for man's.

That is why a woman ought to have on her head a symbol of subjection, because of the angels.

Yet, in the Lord, woman is not independent of man nor man independent of woman.

For just as woman originates from man, so also man comes into existence through woman, but everything springs originally from God.

Judge of this for your own selves: is it seemly for a woman to pray to God when she is unveiled?

but that if a woman has long hair it is her glory, because her hair was given her for a covering?

and if they wish to ask questions, they should ask their own husbands at home. For it is disgraceful for a married woman to speak at a Church assembly.
