Precious Woman

The Wife of a Man

• The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib, which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.”—Genesis 2:22-23
• An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, But she who shames him is like rottenness in his bones.—Proverbs 12:4
• For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.—1 Corinthians 11:7
• There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.—1 Cor. 15:41

The Type of the Church

• Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her . . . —Ephesians 5:25, 32
• This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church.—Ephesians 5:32
