WOMAN / WIFE PRO 27:15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. *** CONTENTIOUS; QUARELSOME, VERBAL STRUGGLING, DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY *** PRO 11:16 A gracious woman retains honor: and strong men retain riches. *** GRACIOUS; KINDNESS, WARM, COURTEOUS *** PRO 11:22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion. *** DISCRETION; PRUDENT, CAUTIOUS, HAVING OR SHOWING A JUDICIOUS RESERVE IN ONE'S SPEACH OR BEHAVIOR, UNOBTRUSIVE, MODEST, SHOWING GOOD JUDGMENT.*** PRO 14:1 Every wise woman builds her house: but the foolish plucks it down with her hands. PRO 23:27 For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit. PRO 21:19 It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman. *** CONTENTIOUS; QUARELSOME, VERBAL STRUGGLING, DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY *** PRO 19:14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord. PRO 30:23 For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress. *** ODIOUS;OFFENSIVE, EXCITING HATRED OR REPUGNANCE, ABHORENT *** PRO 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. *** VIRTUOUS;RIGHETOUSNESS, MORAL EXCELLENCE, GOODNESS, CONFORMITY 2SA 1:26 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast you been unto me: you love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.*** PRO 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. *** RIGHETOUSNESS, MORAL EXCELLENCE, GOODNESS, CONFORMITY PRO 31:11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. PRO 31:12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. PRO 31:13 She seeks wool, and flax, and works willingly with her hands. PRO 31:14 She is like the merchants' ships; she brings her food from afar. PRO 31:15 She rises also while it is yet night, and gives meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. PRO 31:16 She considers a field, and buys it: with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. PRO 31:17 She girds her loins with strength, and strengthened her arms. PRO 31:18 She perceives that her merchandise is good: her candle goes not out by night. PRO 31:19 She lays her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. PRO 31:20 She stretches out her hand to the poor; yea, she reaches forth her hands to the needy. PRO 31:21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. PRO 31:22 She makes herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. PRO 31:23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land. PRO 31:24 She makes fine linen, and sells it; and delivers girdles unto the merchant. PRO 31:25 Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. PRO 31:26 She opens her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. PRO 31:27 She looks well to the ways of her household, and eats not the bread of idleness. PRO 31:28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her. 1CO 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is The Messiah; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of The Messiah is God. 1CO 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. GEN 2:18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. ISA 32:9 Rise up, you women that are at ease; hear my voice, you careless daughters; give ear unto my speech. ISA 32:10 Many days and years shall you be troubled, you careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come. ISA 32:11 Tremble, you women that are at ease; be troubled, you careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins. ECC 7:26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleases God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. 1PE 3:6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters you are, as long as you do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. 1CO 7:12 But to the r speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believes not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 1CO 7:13 And the woman which hath an husband that believes not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 1CO 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. 1CO 7:15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. 1CO 7:16 For what know thou, O wife, whether you will save thy husband? or how know thou, O man, whether you will save thy wife? 1CO 7:3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. *** BENEVOLENCE KIND ACT FOR KIND ACT *** 1PE 3:7 Likewise, you husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. 1CO 7:4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. 1CO 7:5 Defraud you not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. 2CO 11:3 But I fear, l by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in The Messiah. ACT 26:29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds. 1CO 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. 1CO 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. 1TI 5:14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 1CO 7:10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: MAL 2:15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. MAT 5:32 But I say unto you, That whoso ever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whoso ever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery. *** SEE STUDY ON FORNICATION *** MAT 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. MAR 10:11 And he saith unto them, Whoso ever shall put away his wife, and marry another, commits adultery against her. MAR 10:12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she commits adultery. LUK 16:18 Whoso ever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whoso ever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery. 1CO 7:11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. 1CO 7:12 But to the r speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believes not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 1CO 7:13 And the woman which hath an husband that believes not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 1CO 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. MAL 2:15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. 1CO 7:15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. IN PEACE 1CO 7:16 For what know thou, O wife, whether you will save thy husband? or how know thou, O man, whether you will save thy wife? 1PE 3:1 Likewise, you 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;
