7 Bible Verses about Role Of Women In The Church

But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, while a woman's head is her husband, and Christ's head is God. Any man who offers prayer or explains the will of God with anything on his head disgraces his head, and any woman who offers prayer or explains the will of God bareheaded disgraces her head, for it is just as though she had her head shaved.read more.
For if a woman will not wear a veil, let her cut off her hair too. But if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her wear a veil. For a man ought not to wear anything on his head, for he is the image of God and reflects his glory; while woman is the reflection of man's glory. For man was not made from woman, but woman from man, and man was not created for woman, but woman was for man. That is why she ought to wear upon her head something to symbolize her subjection, out of respect to the angels, if to nobody else. But in union with the Lord, woman is not independent of man nor man of woman. For just as woman was made from man, man is born of woman, and both like everything else really come from God.

You married women must subordinate yourselves to your husbands, as you do to the Lord, for a husband is the head of his wife, just as Christ is the head of the church, which is his body, and is saved by him.

Women for their part are to dress modestly and sensibly in proper clothes, not adorning themselves by braiding their hair or with gold or pearls or expensive clothing, but, as is appropriate for women who profess to be religious, with good actions.

I do not allow women to teach or to domineer over men; they must keep quiet. For Adam was formed first, and then Eve; and it was not Adam who was deceived, it was the woman who was deluded and fell into sin. But they will be saved through motherhood, if they continue to have faith and to be loving and holy, and sensible as well.

Their wives too must be serious, not gossips; they must be temperate, and perfectly trustworthy.

No one under sixty years of age should be put on the list of widows. A widow must have been married but once, and have a good reputation for Christian service, such as bringing up children, being hospitable to strangers, washing the feet of God's people, helping people in distress, or devoting herself to any form of doing good. Do not put young women on the list of widows, for when their youthful vigor comes between them and Christ, they want to marry,read more.
and become guilty of breaking their previous pledge. Besides, as they go about from house to house they learn to be idle, and not only idle but gossips and busybodies, and talk of things they ought not to mention. So I would have young women marry and have children and keep house and avoid giving our opponents any excuse for abusing us.

Teach the older women, too, to be reverent in their behavior, and not to gossip or be slaves of drink, but to be teachers of what is right, so as to train the younger women to be loving wives and mothers, and to be sensible, pure-minded, domestic, kind, and submissive to their husbands, so as not to bring reproach on God's message.

You married women, in the same way, must be submissive to your husbands, so that any who refuse to believe the message may be won over without argument through the behavior of their wives when they see how chaste and submissive you are. You must not adopt the external attractions of arranging the hair and wearing jewelry and dress;read more.
yours must be the inner beauty of character, the imperishable attraction of a quiet and gentle spirit, which has great value in the sight of God. It was in that way in ancient times that those pious women who set their hopes on God made themselves attractive. They were submissive to their husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham, and called him Master. You are true daughters of hers, if you do right and are unafraid.
