Women in Scriptures






A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing ...Proverbs 9:13


A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches ...Proverbs 11:16


As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion ...Proverbs 11:22


A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones ...Proverbs 12:4


Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands ...Proverbs 14:1


Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates. ...Proverbs 31:10-31


And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him ...1 Corinthians 7:13


But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God ...1 Corinthians 11:3


But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering ...1 Corinthians 11:15


In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works ... 1 Timothy 2:9-10


I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully ...1 Timothy 5:14


The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;  That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed ...Titus 2:3-5


For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. ...1 Peter 3:5-6


Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto

Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. ...Ephesians 5:22-24


Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. ...Colossians 3:18


Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. ...1 Peter 3:1-6
