đź©·Roles as a woman, wife, & mother in scripture.
(Part 3)
“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”
â€â€Genesis‬ â€2‬:â€24‬ â€
“Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.”
â€â€1 Corinthians‬ â€7‬:â€1‬-â€5‬
““Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends…”
â€â€1 Corinthians‬ â€13‬:â€4-8‬ â€
“She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.”
â€â€Proverbs‬ â€31‬:â€15‬, â€27‬ â€
“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 the 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. For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands,”
â€â€1 Peter‬ â€3‬:â€1‬-â€5‬ â€
“It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.”
â€â€Proverbs‬ â€21‬:â€9‬; 25:24
“And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.”
â€â€Colossians‬ â€3‬:â€14‬ â€
