13 Bible Verses on Disobedient Wives

13 verses

In the Scriptures, wives are called to submit to their husbands as a demonstration of their faith and respect for God's order. According to 1 Peter 3:1 and Ephesians 5:22, this submission is not based on the husband's worthiness, but rather on the wife's reverence for God. The apostle Peter also instructs husbands to honor their wives, as stated in 1 Peter 3:7, emphasizing mutual respect in marriage. Furthermore, Hebrews 13:4 highlights the importance of honoring marriage, and 1 Peter 3:6 encourages wives to follow the example of Sarah, who trusted in God and submitted to her husband, demonstrating a faithful and respectful attitude.

First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone— for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity. This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

For this reason I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a faithful and true teacher of the Gentiles. I am telling the truth; I am not lying about anything. Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension. Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.
