Bible verses about "submissiveness" | YLT

¹⁸ And Jehovah God saith, `Not good for the man to be alone, I do make to him an helper—as his counterpart.'

²⁸ there is not here Jew or Greek, there is not here servant nor freeman, there is not here male and female, for all ye are one in Christ Jesus;

³ and I wish you to know that of every man the head is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God.

²¹ subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of God.

⁹ Servants—to their own masters are to be subject, in all things to be well-pleasing, not gainsaying,

¹⁸ The wives! be subject to your own husbands, as is fit in the Lord;

²² The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord, ²³ because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ is head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body, ²⁴ but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also are the wives to their own husbands in everything. ²⁵ The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it, ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it with the bathing of the water in the saying, ²⁷ that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished; ²⁸ so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife—himself he doth love; ²⁹ for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord—the assembly, ³⁰ because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones; ³¹ `for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be—the two—for one flesh;' ³² this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly; ³³ but ye also, every one in particular—let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife—that she may reverence the husband.

²² The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord,

¹⁶ Unto the woman He said, `Multiplying I multiply thy sorrow and thy conception, in sorrow dost thou bear children, and toward thy husband is thy desire, and he doth rule over thee.'

¹¹ Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection, ¹² and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness,

⁷ The husbands, in like manner, dwelling with them, according to knowledge, as to a weaker vessel—to the wife—imparting honour, as also being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.

¹ In like manner, the wives, be ye subject to your own husbands, that even if certain are disobedient to the word, through the conversation of the wives, without the word, they may be won, ² having beheld your pure behaviour in fear, ³ whose adorning—let it not be that which is outward, of plaiting of hair, and of putting around of things of gold, or of putting on of garments, ⁴ but—the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible thing of the meek and quiet spirit, which is, before God, of great price, ⁵ for thus once also the holy women who did hope on God, were adorning themselves, being subject to their own husbands, ⁶ as Sarah was obedient to Abraham, calling him `sir,' of whom ye did become daughters, doing good, and not fearing any terror. ⁷ The husbands, in like manner, dwelling with them, according to knowledge, as to a weaker vessel—to the wife—imparting honour, as also being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.

²² The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord, ²³ because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ is head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body, ²⁴ but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also are the wives to their own husbands in everything.
