¹⁶ To the woman He said:

^34 (A)Let ^[a]your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the ^(B)law also says.

The Christian Home^(A)

^18 (B)Wives, submit to your own husbands, ^(C)as is fitting in the Lord.

¹² And ^(A)I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.

⁵ to be discreet, chaste, ^(A)homemakers, good, ^(B)obedient to their own husbands, ^(C)that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

Submission to Husbands

3 Wives, likewise, be ^(A)submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, ^(B)they, without a word, may ^(C)be won by the conduct of their wives,

⁵ For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands,

⁶ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, ^(A)calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.
