1. The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be your name
May your kingdom come, may your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil
For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory
Forever and ever.
Amen.
4. GENESIS 1:27
So God created
humankind in his image,
in the image of God
he created them;
male and female
he created them
5. TIMOTHY 2:11-14
Let a woman learn in
silence with full submission.
I permit no woman to teach
or to have authority over a man;
she is to keep silent. For Adam
was formed first, then Eve;
and Adam was not deceived,
but the woman was deceived
and became a transgressor.
6. EPHESIANS 5:22-24
Wives, be subject to
your husbands as you are
to the Lord. For the husband
is the head of the wife just as
Christ is the head of the church,
the body of which he is the Savior. Just
as the church is
subject to Christ, so also wives
ought to be, in everything,
to their husbands.
