WOMEN AND SPIRITUAL WORK
Mt 27:55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus
from Galilee, ministering to him:
56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses,
and the mother of Zebedees children.
Lu 2:36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of
the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband
seven years from her virginity;
37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not
from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise to the Lord, and
spoke of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
Joh 4:28 The woman then left her water pot, and went her way into the city,
and said to the men,
29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this
the Christ?
30 Then they went out of the city, and came to him.
39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of
the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
40 So when the Samaritans were come to him, they sought him that he would
tarry with them: and he stayed there two days.
41 And many more believed because of his own word;
42 And said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of your saying: for we
have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the
Savior of the world.
Acts 1:13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where
stayed both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas,
Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and
Judas the brother of James.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the
women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples, and said,
(the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)
8:3 As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and
haling men and women committed them to prison.
4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the
word.
9:36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by
interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and
giving of alms which she did.
12:12 And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the
mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together
praying.
13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to listen,
named Rhoda.
14 And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for gladness,
but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
15 And they said to her, You are mad. But she constantly affirmed that it
was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
16 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw
him, they were astonished.
18:1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from
Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all
Jews to depart from Rome:) and came to them.
3 And because he was of the same craft, he stayed with them, and worked: for
by their occupation they were tentmakers.
18 And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his
leave of the brothers, and sailed there into Syria, and with him Priscilla
and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and
mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the
spirit, he spoke and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only
the baptism of John.
26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and
Priscilla had heard, they took him to them, and expounded to him the way of
God more perfectly.
21:8 And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came to
Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was
one of the seven; and stayed with him.
9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
10 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain
prophet, named Agabus.
Rom 16:1 I commend to you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church
which is at Cenchrea:
2 That you receive her in the Lord, as becomes saints, and that you assist
her in whatever business she has need of you: for she has been a succorer of
many, and of myself also.
16:3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:
4 Who have for my life laid down their own necks: to whom not only I give
thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
5 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved
Epaenetus, who is the first fruits of Achaia to Christ.
16:6 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labor on us.
7 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are
of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
16:12 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labor in the Lord. Salute the
beloved Persis, which labored much in the Lord.
13 Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
15 Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and
all the saints which are with them.
1 Cor 9:5 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other
apostles, and as the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?
11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors
his head.
5 But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors
her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
28 And God has set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets,
thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps,
governments, diversities of tongues.
14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
30 If any thing be revealed to another that sits by, let the first hold his
peace.
31 For you may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be
comforted.
14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all
churches of the saints.
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted to
them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also said the
law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home:
for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it to you only?
37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him
acknowledge that the things that I write to you are the commandments of the
Lord.
16:19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much
in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
Php 4:2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same
mind in the Lord.
3 And I entreat you also, true yoke fellow, help those women which labored
with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellow laborers,
whose names are in the book of life.
1 Tim 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man,
but to be in silence.
3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he
desires a good work.
2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober,
of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient,
not a brawler, not covetous;
4 One that rules well his own house, having his children in subjection with
all gravity;
5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care
of the church of God?)
3:8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not double-tongued, not given to
much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a
deacon, being found blameless.
11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all
things.
12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and
their own houses well.
2 Tim 1:2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from
God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that
without ceasing I have remembrance of you in my prayers night and day;
4 Greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be
filled with joy;
5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in you, which
dwelled first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice; and I am
persuaded that in you also.
4:19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
Tit 1:5 For this cause left I you in Crete, that you should set in order the
things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed
you:
6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not
accused of riot or unruly.
2:3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becomes holiness,
not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands,
to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own
husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Phm 1:1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to
Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellow laborer,
2 And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the
church in your house:
Heb 13:7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken to you
the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their
conversation.
17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they
watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it
with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
1 Pe 2:5 You also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy
priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus
Christ.
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a
peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has
called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;
Rev 1:6 And has made us kings and priests to God and his Father; to him be
glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
5:10 And have made us to our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on
the earth.
Ex 15:20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine
in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with
dances.
21 And Miriam answered them, Sing you to the LORD, for he has triumphed
gloriously; the horse and his rider has he thrown into the sea.
38:8 And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the
mirrors of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
Judges 4:4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged
Israel at that time.
5 And she dwelled under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in
mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali,
and said to him, Has not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and
draw toward mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the children
of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
5:1 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
2 Praise you the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly
offered themselves.
3 Hear, O you kings; give ear, O you princes; I, even I, will sing to the
LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.
1 Sam 18:6 And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from
the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of
Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and
with instruments of music.
7 And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul has
slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
2 Ki 22:14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and
Asahiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of
Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelled in
Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her.
15 And she said to them, Thus said the LORD God of Israel, Tell the man that
sent you to me,
Ps 68:11 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that
published it.
12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the
spoil.
Pr 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
Isa 8:3 And I went to the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son.
Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.
Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my
spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your
old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also on the servants and on the handmaids in those days will I pour
out my spirit.
