Transcript of themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self...

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

Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with

them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this

pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children,

lest they become discouraged. Bondservants, obey in

everything those who are your earthly masters, not by

way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity

of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, work

heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that

from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your

reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.

House and wealth are inherited from

fathers, but a prudent wife is from the

Lord.

He who finds a wife finds a good thing

and obtains favor from the Lord.

Likewise also that women should adorn

themselves in respectable apparel, with

modesty and self-control, not with

braided hair and gold or pearls or costly

attire, but with what is proper for

women who profess godliness—with good

works.

Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so

that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won

without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they

see your respectful and pure conduct. Do not let your

adorning be external- the braiding of hair and putting on

of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear-but let your

adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the

imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in

God’s sight is very precious

Older women likewise are to be reverent in

behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much

wine. They are to teach what is good, and so

train the young women to love their

husbands and children, to be self-controlled,

pure, working at home, kind, and submissive

to their own husbands, that the word of God

may not be reviled.

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as

to the Lord. For the husband is the

head of the wife even as Christ is the

head of the church, his body, and is

himself its savior. Now as the church

submits to Christ, so also wives should

submit in everything to their husbands.

It is better to live in a corner of the

housetop than in a house shared with a

quarrelsome wife.

It is better to live in a desert land than

with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.
