    The complete KJV guide to being a godly wife

    What the Bible says about wives

    Proverbs 31 remains the fullest portrait: a woman of strength and enterprise who buys fields, trades profitably, speaks with wisdom and is praised by her household. She is not a passive figure. Proverbs 18:22 and 12:4 call a good wife a favour from the Lord and a crown to her husband. The KJV's vision is of competence, faith and honour rather than mere domesticity.

    The hidden man of the heart

    1 Peter 3:1-6 addresses wives, including those with unbelieving husbands, and locates the real power in 'the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price'. Conduct, Peter says, can win where argument cannot. Ephesians 5:22-24 places submission inside a mutual passage that asks far more of the husband, and both are qualified by 'as unto the Lord'.

    Wisdom in building a home

    Proverbs 14:1 says the wise woman builds her house while the foolish plucks it down with her hands — a striking image of ordinary daily influence. Titus 2 asks older women to teach younger ones practically. Scripture treats a wife's words, priorities and steadiness as formative for everyone under that roof.

    How to use this page

Read 1 Peter 3:1-6 and note where the emphasis falls. Then follow the related links to marriage, husbands, the godly home, and women of the Bible.
