'Wives' in the Bible

Jesus said to them, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hard hearts, but from the beginning it was not this way.

When our time was over, we left and went on our way. All of them, with their wives and children, accompanied us outside of the city. After kneeling down on the beach and praying,

And I say this, brothers and sisters: The time is short. So then those who have wives should be as those who have none,

Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord,

But as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her

In the same way husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them.

Likewise also their wives must be dignified, not slanderous, temperate, faithful in every respect.

In the same way, wives, be subject to your own husbands. Then, even if some are disobedient to the word, they will be won over without a word by the way you live,

Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as the weaker partners and show them honor as fellow heirs of the grace of life. In this way nothing will hinder your prayers.
