'Husband' in the Bible
and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness,
Yet a woman will be brought safely through childbirth if she and her husband continue to live in faith and love and growing holiness, with habitual self-restraint.
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
No widow should be placed on the official support list unless she is at least 60 years old, has been the wife of one husband,
She must have been true to her one husband, and well reported of for good deeds, as having brought up children, received strangers hospitably, washed the feet of God's people, given relief to the distressed, and devoted herself to good works of every kind.
