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.

^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. ³⁵ If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.

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. ^13 (C)For Adam was formed first, ^(D)then Eve; ¹⁴ and Adam was not deceived, but ^(E)the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. ¹⁵ Yet she will be saved through ^(F)childbearing—if they continue in ^(G)faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
