women in ministry

Genesis Chapter 2:18

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

Genesis Chapter 3:16

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:1

Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:2

Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:3

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:4

Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:5

But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:6

For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:7

For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:8

For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:9

Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:10

For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:11

Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:12

For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:13

Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:14

Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:15

But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:16

But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:17

Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:18

For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:19

For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:20

When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:21

For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:22

What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:23

For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:24

And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:25

After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:26

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:27

Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:28

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:29

For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:30

For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:31

For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:32

But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:33

Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:34

And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

1 Corinthians Chapter 14:34

Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

1 Corinthians Chapter 14:35

And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

Galatians Chapter 3:28

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:1

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

1 Timothy Chapter 2:2

For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:3

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

1 Timothy Chapter 2:4

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:5

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

1 Timothy Chapter 2:6

Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:7

Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:8

I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:9

In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

1 Timothy Chapter 2:10

But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:11

Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:12

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:13

For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:14

And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:15

Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:1

This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:2

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

1 Timothy Chapter 3:3

Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

1 Timothy Chapter 3:4

One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

1 Timothy Chapter 3:5

For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

1 Timothy Chapter 3:6

Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:7

Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:8

Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

1 Timothy Chapter 3:9

Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:10

And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:11

Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:12

Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:13

For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Titus Chapter 1:6

If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

Titus Chapter 1:7

For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

Titus Chapter 1:8

But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;

Titus Chapter 1:9

Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

Titus Chapter 2:3

The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

Titus Chapter 2:4

That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

Titus Chapter 2:5

To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Titus Chapter 2:6

Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

Titus Chapter 2:7

In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

Titus Chapter 2:8

Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
