Bible Verses About Wife

For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek a wife.

But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.

But I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none;

But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.

There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.

So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn’t give her in marriage does better.

A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.

But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.

But I would have you know that the head of every man is Messiah, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Messiah is God.

Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.

For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.

For man is not from woman, but woman from man;

for neither was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.

For this cause the woman ought to have authority on her head, because of the angels.

Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.

For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.

let your wives keep silent in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as the Torah also says.

If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to chatter in the assembly.

Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

For the husband is the head of the wife, and Messiah also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.

But as the assembly is subject to Messiah, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.
