Sunday Chat: Role of Christian Women's

For wives, this means submit 
to your husbands as to the Lord. 

For a husband is the head 
of his wife as Christ 
is the head of the church. 

He is the Savior of his body, 
the church. 
 Ephesians 5:21-23 

In the same way, 
you wives must accept the authority 
of your husbands. 

Then, even if some refuse to 
obey the Good News, 
your godly lives will speak to them 
without any words. 
They will be won over 
by observing your 
pure and reverent lives. 
1 Peter 3:1 & 2

Give honor to marriage, 
and remain faithful to 
one another in marriage. 
God will surely judge people 
who are immoral and 
those who commit adultery. 
 Hebrews 13:4

Therefore shall a man 
leave his father and his mother,
 and shall cleave unto his wife: 
and they shall be one flesh. 
 Genesis 2:24

The husband should fulfill 
his wife’s sexual needs, 
and the wife should fulfill 
her husband’s needs.

The wife gives authority over
 her body to her husband, 
and the husband gives authority
 over his body to his wife. 

Do not deprive each other 
of sexual relations, 
unless you both agree to 
refrain from sexual intimacy
 for a limited time so 
you can give yourselves 
more completely to prayer. 
Afterward, you should come together 
again so that Satan won’t be able
 to tempt you because of your 
lack of self-control. 
Corinthians 7: 3-6

A wife of noble character
who can find? 
 She is worth far more 
than rubies. 
 her husband has full confidence 
in her and 
lacks nothing of value. 
 She brings him good, 
not harm, all the days of her life.
Proverbs 31:10-12

Your beauty should not 
come from outward adornment, 
such as elaborate hairstyles 
and the wearing of gold jewelry 
or fine clothes. 
Rather, it should be that 
of your inner self, 
the unfading beauty 
of a gentle and quiet spirit, 
which is of great worth in God’s sight. 
For this is the way 
the holy women of the past 
who put their hope in God 
used to adorn themselves. 
They submitted themselves to 
their own husbands, 
 1 Peter 3:3-5 

And I want women to 
be modest in their appearance. 
They should wear decent and 
appropriate clothing and not 
draw attention to themselves 
by the way they fix their hair or 
by wearing gold or
 pearls or expensive clothes 
1 Timothy 2:9 

 “You must not misuse 
the name of the Lord your God. 
The Lord will not let you go 
unpunished if you misuse his name. 
 Exodus 20:7

Similarly, teach the older women 
to live in a way that honors God. 
They must not slander others 
or be heavy drinkers.
Instead, they should teach 
others what is good. 
These older women must train 
the younger women to 
love their husbands and their children, 
to live wisely and be pure, 
to work in their homes,
to do good, and to be submissive 
to their husbands. 
Then they will not bring shame 
on the word of God. 
 Titus 2: 3-5
