Colossians 3:18-4:1
Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

1 Peter 3 1-1 Peter 3 6
In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word,seeing your pure behavior in fear.Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing;but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.For this is how in the past, the holy women who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands.So Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.

Titus 2:5
to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed.

Genesis 3:16
To the woman he said,“ I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. You will bear children in pain. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”

Ephesians 5:22-6:9
Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without defect.Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.“ For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh.”This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.“ Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise:“ that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.”You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ,not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,with good will doing service as to the Lord, and not to men,knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same good again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.

Esther 1:16-18
Memucan answered before the king and the princes,“ Vashti the queen has not done wrong to just the king, but also to all the princes, and to all the people who are in all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus.For this deed of the queen will become known to all women, causing them to show contempt for their husbands, when it is reported,‘ King Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she didn’t come.’Today, the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the queen’s deed will tell all the king’s princes. This will cause much contempt and wrath.
