¹ Every wise woman buildeth her house; But the foolish plucketh it down with her own hands.

¹ And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good tidings of the kingdom of God, and with him the twelve,

² and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary that was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

³ and Joanna the wife of Chuzas Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered unto them of their substance.

⁴ And when a great multitude came together, and they of every city resorted unto him, he spake by a parable:

³ that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

⁴ that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

⁵ `to be' sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:

⁶ the younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded:

¹⁶ A gracious woman obtaineth honor; And violent men obtain riches.

¹¹ Women in like manner `must be' grave, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.

¹⁹ It is better to dwell in a desert land, Than with a contentious and fretful woman.

³⁰ Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; `But' a woman that feareth Jehovah, she shall be praised.

⁷ Ye husbands, in like manner, dwell with `your wives' according to knowledge, giving honor unto the woman, as unto the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; to the end that your prayers be not hindered.

⁴ A worthy woman is the crown of her husband; But she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

¹ In like manner, ye wives, `be' in subjection to your won husbands; that, even if any obey not the word, they may without the word be gained by the behavior of their wives;

¹⁴ House and riches are an inheritance from fathers; But a prudent wife is from Jehovah.
