To the woman he said,“ I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”

To the woman he said,“ I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be contrary to your husband, but he shall rule over you.”

Then he said to the woman,“ I will sharpen the pain of your pregnancy, and in pain you will give birth. And you will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you.”

He said to the woman: I will intensify your labor pains; you will bear children with painful effort. Your desire will be for your husband, yet he will rule over you.

To the woman He said,“ I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you shall deliver children; Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he shall rule over you.”

To the woman He said:“ I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; In pain you shall bring forth children; Your desire shall be for your husband, And he shall rule over you.”

The younger women must control themselves and be pure. They must take good care of their homes. They must be kind. They must follow the lead of their husbands. Then no one will be able to speak evil things against God’s word.

Wives, follow the lead of your husbands. That’s what the Lord wants you to do.

Women should remain silent in church meetings. They are not allowed to speak. They must follow the lead of those who are in authority, as the law says.

But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ. The head of the woman is the man. And the head of Christ is God.

Will women be saved by having children? Only if they keep on believing, loving, and leading a holy life in a proper way.

When a woman is learning, she should be quiet. She should follow her leaders in every way.I do not let women teach or take authority over a man. They must be quiet.

Do what is right and then you will be accepted. If you don’t do what is right, sin is waiting at your door to grab you. It desires to control you. But you must rule over it.”

Wives, follow the lead of your own husbands as you follow the Lord.The husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the church. The church is Christ’s body. He is its Savior.The church follows the lead of Christ. In the same way, wives should follow the lead of their husbands in everything.

Wives, follow the lead of your own husbands. Suppose some of them don’t believe God’s word. Then let them be won to Christ without words by seeing how their wives behave.Let them see how pure you are. Let them see that your lives are full of respect for God.Fancy hairstyles don’t make you beautiful. Wearing gold jewelry or fine clothes doesn’t make you beautiful.Instead, your beauty comes from inside you. It is the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit. Beauty like this doesn’t fade away. God places great value on it.This is how the holy women of the past used to make themselves beautiful. They put their hope in God. And they followed the lead of their own husbands.Sarah was like that. She obeyed Abraham. She called him her master. Do you want to be like her? Then do what is right. And don’t give in to fear.

The wife’s body does not belong only to her. It also belongs to her husband. In the same way, the husband’s body does not belong only to him. It also belongs to his wife.

They said,“ Don’t be afraid. You have had a son.” But she didn’t reply. She didn’t pay any attention.She named the boy Ichabod.

Her husband can let her keep any special promise she makes. Or he can refuse to let her keep it. Suppose she gives her word not to eat anything. Then her husband can let her keep her promise. Or he can refuse to let her keep it.

Suppose her husband hears about what she did. And he doesn’t say anything to her about it. Then she must keep her promise. She must do what she agreed to do.But suppose her husband doesn’t allow her to keep her promises when he hears about them. Then she doesn’t have to do what she promised. She doesn’t have to do what she agreed to do without thinking it through. The Lord will set her free.

And let your order be announced all through your entire kingdom. Then all women will have respect for their husbands, from the least important to the most important.”

Lord, you made us like a woman who is about to have a baby. She groans and cries out in pain.We were pregnant and groaned with pain. But nothing was born. We didn’t bring your saving power to the earth. And the people of the world have not come to life.
