What does the Bible say about women? We share 10 passages of Scripture that give us some answers to this question. These scriptures are Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 2:18; Genesis 2:22-23; Genesis 3:16; Psalm 46:5; Proverbs 11:16; Proverbs 14:1; Proverbs 31:30; 1 Corinthians 11:11-12; and Galatians 3:26-29. Among the important takeaways from these verses are the following:

 

Both men and women are created in the image of God

The first woman was created as a helper who was comparable to the first man

The curse that Eve suffered applies to two areas: increased pain in childbirth and a new relationship between husbands and wives

God made men and women to be equal partners in life who can respect each other.
