Now there was a man named Joseph who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man.

For man did not come from woman, but woman from man.

Neither was man created for the sake of woman, but woman for man.

In any case, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

For a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of the marriage.

(Now there were about twelve men in all.)

So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is alive, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she is joined to another man, she is not an adulteress.

Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord,

since he is a double-minded individual, unstable in all his ways.

For human anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness.

for you have had five husbands, and the man you are living with now is not your husband. This you said truthfully!”

A husband should give to his wife her sexual rights, and likewise a wife to her husband.

(but if she does, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband), and a husband should not divorce his wife.

The woman replied, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “Right you are when you said, ‘I have no husband,’

It is not the wife who has the rights to her own body, but the husband. In the same way, it is not the husband who has the rights to his own body, but the wife.

And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is happy to live with her, she should not divorce him.

For how do you know, wife, whether you will bring your husband to salvation? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will bring your wife to salvation?

For a man should not have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.

For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman. But all things come from God.

Not counting women and children, there were about five thousand men who ate.
