Bible verses about "inequality" | Twentieth_Century

¹⁶ for all that the world can offer--the gratification of the earthly nature, the gratification of the eye, the pretentious life--belongs, not to the Father, but to the world.

²² Wives should submit to their husbands as submitting to the Lord. ²³ For a man is the Head of his wife, as the Christ is the Head of the Church--being indeed himself the Savior of his Body. ²⁴ But as the Church submits to the Christ, so also should wives submit to their husbands in everything. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, just as the Christ loved the Church, and gave himself for her, ²⁶ To make her holy, after purifying her by the Washing with the Water, according to his promise; ²⁷ So that he might himself bring the Church, in all her beauty, into his own presence, with no spot or wrinkle or blemish of any kind, but that she might be holy and faultless. ²⁸ That is how husbands ought to love their wives--as if they were their own bodies. A man who loves his wife is really loving himself; ²⁹ For no one ever yet hated his own body. But every one feeds his body and cares for it, just as the Christ for the Church; ³⁰ For we are members of his Body. ³¹ 'For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and be united to his wife; and the man and his wife shall become one.' ³² In this there is a profound truth--I am speaking of Christ and his Church. ³³ However, for you individually, let each love his wife as if she were himself; and the wife be careful to respect her husband.

⁸ For it was not man who was taken from woman, but woman who was taken from man. ⁹ Besides, man was not created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man.

²⁸ All distinctions between Jew and Greek, slave and freeman, male and female, have vanished; for in union with Christ Jesus you are all one.
