Colossians 3:18-4:1
Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.Husbands, love your wives and don’t be bitter toward them.Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they won’t become discouraged.Slaves, obey your human masters in everything. Don’t work only while being watched, as people-pleasers, but work wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord.Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people,knowing that you will receive the reward of an inheritance from the Lord. You serve the Lord Christ.For the wrongdoer will be paid back for whatever wrong he has done, and there is no favoritism.Masters, deal with your slaves justly and fairly, since you know that you too have a Master in heaven.

1 Peter 3 1-1 Peter 3 6
In the same way, wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, even if some disobey the word, they may be won over without a word by the way their wives livewhen they observe your pure, reverent lives.Don’t let your beauty consist of outward things like elaborate hairstyles and wearing gold jewelry or fine clothes,but rather what is inside the heart— the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.For in the past, the holy women who put their hope in God also adorned themselves in this way, submitting to their own husbands,just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. You have become her children when you do what is good and do not fear any intimidation.

Genesis 3:16

Ephesians 5:22-6:9
Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord,because the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of the body.Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives are to submit to their husbands in everything.Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for herto make her holy, cleansing her with the washing of water by the word.He did this to present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and blameless.In the same way, husbands are to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.For no one ever hates his own flesh but provides and cares for it, just as Christ does for the church,since we are members of his body.For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.This mystery is profound, but I am talking about Christ and the church.To sum up, each one of you is to love his wife as himself, and the wife is to respect her husband.Children, obey your parents in the Lord, because this is right.Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise,so that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life in the land.Fathers, don’t stir up anger in your children, but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as you would Christ.Don’t work only while being watched, as people-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, do God’s will from your heart.Serve with a good attitude, as to the Lord and not to people,knowing that whatever good each one does, slave or free, he will receive this back from the Lord.And masters, treat your slaves the same way, without threatening them, because you know that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.

Esther 1:16-18
Memucan said in the presence of the king and his officials,“ Queen Vashti has wronged not only the king, but all the officials and the peoples who are in every one of King Ahasuerus’s provinces.For the queen’s action will become public knowledge to all the women and cause them to despise their husbands and say,‘ King Ahasuerus ordered Queen Vashti brought before him, but she did not come.’Before this day is over, the noble women of Persia and Media who hear about the queen’s act will say the same thing to all the king’s officials, resulting in more contempt and fury.
