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, ...
1 Corinthians 7:1-40 ESV / 181 helpful votes
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. ...
Proverbs 31:10-31 ESV
An excellent wife who can find? She is far more

merchant; she brings her food from afar. ...

word, ...

For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the
image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man. For man was not made
from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman
for man. That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head,
because of the angels. Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of
man nor man of woman; ...

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. Now as a concession, not a command, I
say this. I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own gift from
God, one of one kind and one of another. ...

husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.
1 Corinthians 7:13-16 ESV
If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and
he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving
husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy
because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is,
they are holy. But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such
cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace. For
how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know,
husband, whether you will save your wife?

forget what has been decreed and pervert the rights of all the afflicted. ...

offering and sacrifice to God. But sexual immorality and all impurity or
covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. Let
there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of
