1 Corinthians 13:1-13

1 G1437 Though G2980 [G5725] I speak G1100 with the tongues G444 of men G2532 and G32 of messengers, G1161 and G2192 [G5725] have G3361 not G26 love, G1096 [G5754] I am become G2278 [G5723] as sounding G5475 brass, G2228 or G214 [G5723] a tinkling G2950 cymbal.

2 G2532 And G1437 though G2192 [G5725] I have G4394 the gift of prophecy, G2532 and G1492 [G5762] understand G3956 all G3466 mysteries, G2532 and G3956 all G1108 knowledge; G2532 and G1437 though G2192 [G5725] I have G3956 all G4102 faith, G5620 so G3179 [G5721] that I could remove G3735 mountains, G1161 and G2192 [G5725] have G3361 not G26 love, G1510 [G5748] I am G3762 nothing.

3 G2532 And G1437 though G5595 0 I bestow G3956 all G3450 my G5224 [G5723] goods G5595 [G5661] to feed G2532 the poor, and G1437 though G3860 [G5632] I give G3450 my G4983 body G2443 to G2545 [G5703] be burned, G1161 and G2192 [G5725] have G3361 not G26 love, G5623 [G5743] it profiteth me G3762 nothing.

4 G26 Love G3114 [G5719] suffereth long, G5541 [G5736] and is kind; G26 love G3756 is not G2206 [G5719] zealous; G26 love G4068 0 vaunteth G3756 not G4068 [G5736] itself, G5448 0 is G3756 not G5448 [G5743] puffed up,

5 G807 0 Doth G3756 not G807 [G5719] behave itself unseemly, G2212 [G5719] seeketh G3756 not G1438 its own, G3947 0 is G3756 not G3947 [G5743] easily provoked, G3756 is not G3049 [G5736] reckoning G3588 the G2556 bad;

6 G5463 [G5719] Rejoiceth G3756 not G1909 in G93 injustice, G1161 but G4796 [G5719] rejoiceth G225 in the truth;

7 G4722 [G5719] Covereth G3956 all things, G4100 [G5719] believeth G3956 all things, G1679 [G5719] expectantly awaiteth G3956 all things, G5278 [G5719] endureth G3956 all things.

8 G26 Love G3763 never G1601 [G5719] falleth out: G1161 but G1535 whether G4394 there are prophecies, G2673 [G5701] they shall be rendered useless; G1535 whether G1100 there are tongues, G3973 [G5695] they shall cease; G1535 whether G1108 there is knowledge, G2673 [G5701] it shall be rendered useless.

9 G1063 For G1097 [G5719] we know G1537 from out of G3313 a part, G2532 and G4395 [G5719] we prophesy G1537 from out of G3313 a part.

10 G1161 But G3752 when G3588 the G5046 perfect G2064 [G5632] should come, G5119 then G3588 the thing G1537 from out of G3313 a part G2673 [G5701] shall be rendered useless.

11 G3753 When G2252 [G5713] I was G3516 an infant, G2980 [G5707] I spoke G5613 as G3516 an infant, G5426 [G5707] I understood G5613 as G3516 an infant, G3049 [G5711] I reckoned G5613 as G3516 an infant: G1161 but G3753 when G1096 [G5754] I became G435 a man, G2673 [G5758] I rendered useless G3588 the things G3588 of the G3516 infant.

12 G1063 For G737 now G991 [G5719] we see G1223 by G2072 a mirror, G1722 in G135 an enigma; G1161 but G5119 then G4383 face G4314 to G4383 face: G737 now G1097 [G5719] I know G1537 from out of G3313 a part; G1161 but G5119 then G1921 [G5695] I shall recognize G2531 just as G2532 also G1921 [G5681] I was recognized.

13 G1161 And G3570 now G3306 [G5719] abideth G4102 faith, G1680 hope, G26 love, G5023 these G5140 three; G1161 but G3187 the greatest G5130 of these G26 is love.

Ephesians 5:25

25 G435 Husbands, G25 [G5720] love G1438 your G1135 wives, G2531 even as G5547 Anointed G2532 also G25 [G5656] loved G1577 the congregation, G2532 and G3860 [G5656] gave G1438 himself G5228 for G846 it;

Colossians 3:18

18 G1135 Wives, G5293 [G5732] submit yourselves G3588 G2398 to your own G435 husbands, G5613 as G433 [G5707] it is befit G1722 in G2962 the Lord.

Titus 2:1-15

1 G1161 But G2980 [G5720] speak G4771 thou G3739 the things which G4241 [G5719] become G5198 [G5723] sound G1319 teaching:

2 G4246 That the aged men G1511 [G5750] be G3524 sober minded, G4586 serious, G4998 discreet, G5198 [G5723] being sound G3588 in the G4102 faith, G3588 in the G26 love, G3588 in the G5281 patience.

3 G4247 The aged women G5615 likewise, G1722 that they be in G2412 consecrated G2688 demeanor, G3361 not G1228 slanderers, G3361 not G1402 [G5772] being enslaved G4183 to much G3631 wine, G2567 teachers of good things;

4 G2443 That G4994 0 they may teach G3501 the young women G1511 [G5750] to be G4994 [G5725] sober minded, G5362 to be ones fond of their husbands, G5388 to be ones fond of their children,

5 G4998 To be discreet, G53 pure, G3626 keepers at home, G18 good, G5293 [G5746] obedient G2398 to their own G435 husbands, G3363 0 that G3056 the word G2316 of God G987 0 be G3363 not G987 [G5747] blasphemed.

6 G3501 Young men G5615 likewise G3870 [G5720] exhort G4993 [G5721] to be of sound mind.

7 G4012 In G3956 all things G3930 [G5734] furnishing G4572 thyself G5179 a pattern G2570 of good G2041 works: G1722 in G1319 teaching G90 showing integrity, G4587 gravity, G861 incorruptibility,

8 G5199 Sound G3056 speech G176 that is faultless; G2443 that G1537 he that is of G1727 the contrary part G1788 [G5652] may be ashamed, G2192 [G5723] having G3367 0 no G5337 heedless G3367 thing G3004 [G5721] to say G4012 concerning G5216 you.

9 G1401 Exhort slaves G5293 [G5733] to be obedient G2398 to their own G1203 masters, G1511 [G5750] and to G2101 to be well-pleasing G1722 in G3956 all G3361 things; not G483 [G5723] disputing;

10 G3361 Not G3557 [G5734] pilfering, G235 but G1731 [G5734] showing G3956 all G18 good G4102 fidelity; G2443 that G2885 [G5725] they may adorn G1319 the teaching G2316 of God G2257 our G4990 Saviour G1722 in G3956 all things.

11 G1063 For G5485 the grace G2316 of God G4992 that bringeth salvation G2014 [G5648] hath appeared G3956 to all G444 men,

12 G3811 [G5723] Teaching G2248 us G2443 that, G720 [G5666] denying G763 ungodliness G2532 and G2886 worldly G1939 lusts, G2198 [G5661] we should live G4996 soberly, G2532 G1346 righteously, G2532 and G2153 piously, G1722 in G3588 this G3568 present G165 age;

13 G4327 [G5740] Looking for G3107 that blessed G1680 hope, G2532 and G1391 the glorious G2015 appearing G3173 of the great G2316 God G2532 and G2257 our G4990 Saviour G2424 Jesus G5547 Anointed;

14 G3739 Who G1325 [G5656] gave G1438 himself G5228 for G2257 us, G2443 that G3084 [G5672] he might ransom G2248 us G575 from G3956 all G458 lawlessness, G2532 and G2511 [G5661] purify G1438 to himself G4041 his own special G2992 people, G2207 zealous G2570 of good G2041 works.

15 G5023 These things G2980 [G5720] speak, G2532 and G3870 [G5720] exhort, G2532 and G1651 [G5720] rebuke G3326 with G3956 all G2003 authority. G4065 0 Let G3367 no man G4065 [G5720] despise G4675 thee.

1 Timothy 2:11-14

11 G3129 0 Let G1135 the woman G3129 [G5720] learn G1722 in G2271 silence G1722 with G3956 all G5292 subjection.

12 G1161 But G2010 [G5719] I permit G3756 not G1135 a woman G1321 [G5721] to teach, G3761 nor G831 [G5721] to usurp authority G435 over the man, G235 but G1511 [G5750] to be G1722 in G2271 silence.

13 G1063 For G76 Adam G4111 0 was G4413 first G4111 [G5681] formed, G1534 then G2096 Eve.

14 G2532 And G76 Adam G538 0 was G3756 not G538 [G5681] deceived, G1161 but G1135 the woman G538 [G5685] being deceived G1096 [G5754] was G1722 in G3847 the transgression.

1 Peter 3:7

7 G3668 Likewise, G435 ye husbands, G4924 [G5723] dwell with G2596 them according to G1108 knowledge, G632 [G5723] giving G5092 honour G1134 to the wife, G5613 as G772 to the weaker G4632 vessel, G2532 and G5613 as G4789 being heirs together G5485 of the grace G2222 of life; G1519 that G5216 your G4335 prayers G1581 0 be G3361 not G1581 [G5745] hindered.

James 1:19

19 G5620 Therefore, G3450 my G27 beloved G80 brethren, G2077 0 let G3956 every G444 man G2077 [G5749] be G5036 swift G1519 to G191 [G5658] hear, G1021 slow G1519 to G2980 [G5658] speak, G1021 slow G1519 to G3709 wrath:

Hebrews 13:4

4 G1062 Marriage G5093 is honourable G1722 in G3956 all, G2532 and G2845 the marriage-bed G283 undefiled: G1161 but G4205 fornicators G2532 and G3432 adulterers G2316 God G2919 [G5692] will judge.

1 Peter 3:5

5 G1063 For G3779 after this manner G4218 in former times G40 the holy G1135 women G2532 also, G3588 who G1679 [G5723] placing their expectation G1909 in G2316 God, G2885 [G5707] adorned G1438 themselves, G5293 [G5746] being in subjection G2398 to their own G435 husbands:

Proverbs 12:4

4 H2428 A virtuous H802 woman H5850 is a crown H1167 to her husband: H954 [H8688] but she that maketh pale H7538 is as rottenness H6106 in his bones.

1 Corinthians 11:3

3 G1161 But G2309 [G5719] I would have G5209 you G1492 [G5760] know, G3754 that G2776 the head G3956 of every G435 man G2076 [G5748] is G5547 Anointed; G1161 and G2776 the head G1135 of the woman G435 is the man; G1161 and G2776 the head G5547 of Anointed G2316 is God.

Ephesians 5:33

33 G4133 Nevertheless G2532 also G25 0 let G1520 G1538 each one G5210 of you G2596 in particular G3779 so G25 [G5720] love G1438 his G1135 wife G5613 even as G1438 himself; G1161 and G1135 the wife G2443 see that G5399 [G5741] she fear G435 her husband.

Proverbs 18:22

22 H4672 [H8804] Whoever findeth H802 a wife H4672 [H8804] findeth H2896 a good H6329 [H8686] thing, and obtaineth H7522 delight H3068 from the LORD.

Ephesians 5:22-6:9

22 G1135 Wives, G5293 [G5732] submit yourselves G2398 to your own G435 husbands, G5613 as G2962 to the Lord.

23 G3754 For G435 the husband G2076 [G5748] is G2776 the head G1135 of the wife, G2532 even G5613 as G5547 Anointed G2776 is the head G1577 of the congregation: G2532 and G846 he G2076 [G5748] is G4990 the saviour G4983 of the body.

24 G235 Therefore G5618 as G1577 the congregation G5293 [G5743] is subject G5547 to Anointed, G3779 G2532 so G1135 let wives G2398 be to their own G435 husbands G1722 in G3956 every thing.

26 G2443 That G846 he G37 [G5661] might sanctify G2511 [G5660] and cleanse it G3067 with the bathing G5204 of water G1722 by G4487 the utterance,

27 G2443 That G3936 [G5661] he might present G846 it G1438 to himself G1741 a glorious G1577 congregation, G3361 not G2192 [G5723] having G4696 spot, G2228 or G4512 wrinkle, G2228 or G5100 any G5108 such thing; G235 but G2443 that G5600 [G5753] it should be G40 holy G2532 and G299 without blemish.

28 G3779 So G3784 [G5719] ought G435 men G25 [G5721] to love G1438 their G1135 wives G5613 as G1438 their own G4983 bodies. G25 [G5723] He that loveth G1438 his G1135 wife G25 [G5719] loveth G1438 himself.

29 G1063 For G3762 no man G4218 ever yet G3404 [G5656] hated G1438 his own G4561 flesh; G235 but G1625 [G5719] nourisheth G2532 and G2282 [G5719] cherisheth G846 it, G2531 G2532 even as G2962 the Lord G1577 the congregation:

30 G3754 For G2070 [G5748] we are G3196 members G846 of his G4983 body, G1537 of G846 his G4561 flesh, G2532 and G1537 of G846 his G3747 bones.

31 G473 For G5127 this cause G2641 0 shall G444 a man G2641 [G5692] leave G846 his G3962 father G2532 and G3384 mother, G2532 and G4347 [G5701] shall be joined G4314 to G846 his G1135 wife, G2532 and G1417 they two G2071 [G5704] shall be G1519 G3391 one G4561 flesh.

32 G5124 This G2076 [G5748] is G3173 a great G3466 mystery: G1161 but G1473 I G3004 [G5719] speak G1519 concerning G5547 Anointed G1519 G2532 and G1577 the congregation.

Ephesians 6:1-9

1 G5043 Children, G5219 [G5720] obey G5216 your G1118 parents G1722 in G2962 the Lord: G1063 for G5124 this G2076 [G5748] is G1342 right.

2 G5091 [G5720] Honour G4675 thy G3962 father G2532 and G3384 mother; G3748 (which G2076 [G5748] is G4413 the first G1785 commandment G1722 with G1860 promise;)

3 G2443 That G1096 [G5638] it may be G2095 well G4671 with thee, G2532 and G2071 [G5704] thou mayest G3118 live long G1909 on G1093 the earth.

4 G2532 And, G3962 ye fathers, G3949 0 provoke G3361 not G5216 your G5043 children G3949 [G5720] to wrath: G235 but G1625 0 nourish G846 them G1625 [G5720] up G1722 in G3809 the nurture G2532 and G3559 admonition G2962 of the Lord.

5 G1401 Slaves, G5219 [G5720] be obedient G2962 to them that are your masters G2596 according to G4561 the flesh, G3326 with G5401 fear G2532 and G5156 trembling, G1722 in G572 singleness G5216 of your G2588 heart, G5613 as G5547 to Anointed;

6 G3361 Not G2596 with G3787 eyeservice, G5613 as G441 menpleasers; G235 but G5613 as G1401 the slaves G5547 of Anointed, G4160 [G5723] doing G2307 the will G2316 of God G1537 from out of G5590 the breath;

7 G3326 With G2133 good will G1398 [G5723] being a slave, G2962 as to the Lord, G2532 and G3756 not G444 to men:

8 G1492 [G5761] Knowing G3754 that G3739 G1437 G5100 whatever G18 good thing G1538 any man G4160 [G5661] doeth, G5124 the same G2865 [G5695] shall he receive G3844 from G2962 the Lord, G1535 whether G1401 he be slave G1535 or G1658 free.

9 G2532 And, G2962 ye masters, G4160 [G5720] do G846 the same things G4314 to G846 them, G447 [G5723] forbearing G547 threatening: G1492 [G5761] knowing G3754 that G5216 G846 your G2962 Master G2532 also G2076 [G5748] is G1722 in G3772 heaven; G2532 G3756 neither G2076 [G5748] is there G4382 respect of persons G3844 with G846 him.

1 Peter 3:1

1 G3668 Likewise, G1135 ye wives, G5293 [G5746] be in subjection G2398 to your own G435 husbands; G2443 that, G1536 if any G544 [G5719] obey not G3056 the word, G2770 0 they G2532 also G2770 0 may G427 without G3056 the word G2770 [G5686] be won G1223 by G391 the behaviour G1135 of the wives;

1 Corinthians 7:2-5

2 G1161 But G1223 on account of G3588 the G4202 fornications, G2192 0 let G1538 each man G2192 [G5720] have G1438 his G1135 wife, G2532 and G2192 0 let G1538 each woman G2192 [G5720] have G2398 her proper G435 husband.

3 G591 0 Let G435 the husband G591 [G5720] render G1135 to the wife G3784 [G5746] her due G2133 benevolence: G1161 and G3668 likewise G2532 also G1135 the wife G435 to the husband.

4 G1135 The wife G1850 0 doth G3756 not G1850 [G5719] exercise authority G2398 of her own G4983 body, G235 but G435 the husband: G1161 and G3668 likewise G2532 also G435 the husband G1850 0 doth G3756 not G1850 [G5719] exercise authority G2398 of his own G4983 body, G235 but G1135 the wife.

5 G650 [G5720] Defraud ye G3361 not G240 one the other, G1509 G302 except G5100 it be G1537 with G4859 consent G4314 for G2540 a season, G2443 that G4980 [G5725] ye may give yourselves G3521 to fasting G2532 and G4335 prayer; G2532 and G4905 [G5741] come G1909 G846 together G3825 again, G3363 0 that G3588 the G4567 adversary G3363 may not G3985 [G5725] tempt G5209 you G1223 for G5216 your G192 lack of self-control.

1 Peter 3:1-6

2 G2029 [G5660] While they behold G5216 your G53 pure G391 behaviour G1722 coupled with G5401 fear.

3 G3739 Whose G2889 adorning G2077 0 let it G3756 not G2077 [G5749] be G1855 that outward G1708 adorning of arranging G2359 the hair, G2532 and G4025 of wearing G5553 gold, G2228 or G1745 of putting on G2440 apparel;

4 G235 But G2927 let it be the hidden G444 man G2588 of the heart, G1722 in G862 that which is not corruptible, G4239 even the ornament of a meek G2532 and G2272 quiet G4151 spirit, G3739 which G2076 [G5748] is G1799 in the sight G2316 of God G4185 of great price.

6 G5613 Even as G4564 Sarah G5219 [G5656] obeyed G11 Abraham, G2564 [G5723] calling G846 him G2962 lord: G3739 whose G5043 daughters G1096 [G5675] ye are, G15 [G5723] as long as ye do well, G2532 and G5399 0 are G3361 not G5399 [G5740] afraid G3367 with any G4423 terror.

Proverbs 31:10-31

10 H4672 [H8799] Who can find H2428 a virtuous H802 woman? H4377 for her price H7350 is far H6443 above rubies.

11 H3820 The heart H1167 of her husband H982 [H8804] doth safely trust H2637 [H8799] in her, so that he shall have no need H7998 of spoil.

12 H1580 [H8804] She will do H2896 him good H7451 and not evil H3117 all the days H2416 of her life.

13 H1875 [H8804] She seeketh H6785 wool, H6593 and flax, H6213 [H8799] and worketh H2656 willingly H3709 with her palms.

14 H5503 [H8802] She is like the merchant H591 ships; H935 [H8686] she bringeth H3899 her food H4801 from afar.

15 H6965 [H8799] She riseth H3915 also while it is yet night, H5414 [H8799] and giveth H2964 food H1004 to her household, H2706 and a portion H5291 to her damsels.

16 H2161 [H8804] She considereth H7704 a field, H3947 [H8799] and buyeth H6529 it: with the fruit H3709 of her palms H5193 [H8804] she planteth H3754 a vineyard.

17 H2296 [H8804] She girdeth H4975 her loins H5797 with strength, H553 [H8762] and strengtheneth H2220 her arms.

18 H2938 [H8804] She perceiveth H5504 that her merchandise H2896 is good: H5216 her lamp H3518 [H8799] goeth not out H3915 by night.

19 H7971 [H8765] She layeth H3027 her hands H3601 to the spindle, H3709 and her palms H8551 [H8804] hold H6418 the distaff.

20 H6566 [H8804] She stretcheth out H3709 her palm H6041 to the poor; H7971 [H8765] yea, she reacheth forth H3027 her hands H34 to the needy.

21 H3372 [H8799] She is not afraid H7950 of the snow H1004 for her household: H1004 for all her household H3847 [H8803] are clothed H8144 with scarlet.

22 H6213 [H8804] She maketh H4765 herself coverings of tapestry; H3830 her clothing H8336 is silk H713 and purple.

23 H1167 Her husband H3045 [H8737] is known H8179 in the gates, H3427 [H8800] when he sitteth H2205 among the elders H776 of the land.

24 H6213 [H8804] She maketh H5466 fine linen, H9001 and H4376 [H8799] selleth it; H9002 and H5414 [H8804] giveth H2289 waistbands H9005 to H3669 the merchant.

25 H5797 Strength H1926 and honour H3830 are her clothing; H7832 [H8799] and she laugheth H314 at the latter H3117 day.

26 H6605 [H8804] She openeth H6310 her mouth H2451 with wisdom; H3956 and on her tongue H8451 is the law H2617 of mercy.

27 H6822 [H8802] She looketh well H1979 H1979 [H8675] to the ways H1004 of her household, H398 [H8799] and eateth H3899 not the bread H6104 of idleness.

28 H1121 Her sons H6965 [H8804] rise up, H833 [H8762] and call her blessed; H1167 her husband H1984 [H8762] also, and he praiseth her.

29 H7227 Many H1323 daughters H6213 [H8804] have done H2428 virtuously, H5927 [H8804] but thou excellest them all.

30 H2580 Favour H8267 is deceitful, H3308 and beauty H1892 is vain: H802 but a woman H3373 that feareth H3068 the LORD, H1984 [H8691] she shall be praised.

31 H5414 [H8798] Give H6529 her of the fruit H3027 of her hands; H4639 and let her own works H1984 [H8762] praise H8179 her in the gates.
