O papel da mulher
A Bíblia honra a mulher como colaboradora essencial no plano de Deus. De Provérbios 31 às mulheres do Novo Testamento, a Escritura celebra a sabedoria, a força e a fé feminina.
A mulher virtuosa
Mulher virtuosa, quem a achará? Seu valor excede o de rubis. Ela é sábia, trabalhadora, generosa e temida pelo Senhor.
An Excellent Woman#Prov 31:10–31 is an acrostic poem
A woman of excellence, who will find?
For her worth is far more than precious jewels.
The heart of her husband trusts in her,
and gain he will not lack.
She does him good, but not harm
all the days of her life.
She seeks wool and flax,
and she works with the diligence of her hands.
She is like the ships of a merchant;
from far off she brings her food;
And she arises while it is still night,
and gives food to her household,
and tasks to her servant girls.
She considers a field and buys it,
from the fruit of her hand she plants a vineyard.
She girds her waist in strength,
and makes her arms strong.
She perceives that her merchandise is good;
her lamp does not go out in the night.
Her hands she puts onto the distaff,
and her palms hold a spindle.
Her palm she opens to the poor,
and her hand she reaches out to the needy.
Linen garments she makes and sells,
and she supplies sashes for the merchants.
Strength and dignity are her clothing,
and she laughs at the future.
She opens her mouth with wisdom,
and instruction of kindness is upon her tongue.
She looks after the ways of her household,
and the bread of idleness she will not eat.
The wisest of women builds her house,
but the foolish tears it down with her hands.

My child, may you keep your father’s instruction,
and do not reject your mother’s teachings,
Beleza interior
A beleza verdadeira não é exterior, mas o caráter incorruptível de um espírito manso e tranquilo. Isso tem grande valor diante de Deus.
Wives and Husbands
In the same way, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some are disobedient to the word, they may be won over without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they see your respectful, pure conduct. Let your adornment not be the external kind, braiding hair and putting on gold jewelry or putting on fine clothing, but the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is highly valuable in the sight of God. For in the same way formerly the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves by being subject to their own husbands, like Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you have become when you do good and are not frightened with respect to any terror.
Husbands, in the same way live with your wives knowledgeably, as with the weaker female vessel, showing them honor as fellow heirs also of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
Instructions for Women
Likewise also the women should adorn themselves in appropriate clothing, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold jewelry or pearls or expensive clothing,
The wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderous, temperate, faithful in all things.
Parceria e dignidade
Deus criou homem e mulher à sua imagem. A mulher não é inferior, mas parceira e co-herdeira da graça da vida.
So God created humankind in his image, in the likeness of God he created him, male and female he created them. And God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of heaven, and over every animal that moves upon the earth."
Then Yahweh God said, "it is not good that the man is alone. I will make for him a helper as his counterpart."
To the woman he said,
"I will greatly increase
your pain in childbearing;
in pain you shall bear children.
And to your husband shall be your desire.
And he shall rule over you."
Nevertheless, neither is woman anything apart from man, nor is man anything apart from woman in the Lord. For just as the woman is from the man, thus also the man is through the woman. But all things are from God.
—wives to their own husbands as to the Lord, because the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ is the head of the church (he himself being the Savior of the body). But as the church is subject to Christ, thus also wives should be subject to their husbands in everything.
Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not slanderous, not enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, in order that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands and to love their children, to be self-controlled, pure, busy at home, good, being subject to their own husbands, in order that the word of God may not be slandered.
