³ But I want you to understand that ^(A)the head of every man is Christ, ^(B)the head of a wife^[a] is her husband,^[b] and ^(C)the head of Christ is God.

^34 (A)the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but ^(B)should be in submission, as ^(C)the Law also says.

Wives and Husbands

^22 (A)Wives, ^(B)submit to your own husbands, ^(C)as to the Lord. ²³ For ^(D)the husband is the head of the wife even as ^(E)Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is ^(F)himself its Savior. ²⁴ Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit ^(G)in everything to their husbands.

Rules for Christian Households

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

¹¹ Let a woman learn quietly ^(A)with all submissiveness. ^12 (B)I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.

⁵ to be self-controlled, ^(A)pure, ^(B)working at home, kind, and ^(C)submissive to their own husbands, ^(D)that the word of God may not be reviled.

Wives and Husbands

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

⁵ For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, ⁶ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, ^(A)calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and ^(B)do not fear anything that is frightening.
