9It is better to sit in a corner of the attic, than with a contentious woman and in a shared house.
19You know this, my most beloved brothers. So let every man be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to anger. 20For the anger of man does not accomplish the justice of God.
19It is better to live in a deserted land, than with a quarrelsome and emotional woman.
1If I were to speak in the language of men, or of Angels, yet not have charity, I would be like a clanging bell or a crashing cymbal. 2And if I have prophecy, and learn every mystery, and obtain all knowledge, and possess all faith, so that I could move mountains, yet not have charity, then I am nothing. 3And if I distribute all my goods in order to feed the poor, and if I hand over my body to be burned, yet not have charity, it offers me nothing. 4Charity is patient, is kind. Charity does not envy, does not act wrongly, is not inflated. 5Charity is not ambitious, does not seek for itself, is not provoked to anger, devises no evil. 6Charity does not rejoice over iniquity, but rejoices in truth.
15A roof leaking on a cold day, and an argumentative woman, are comparable.
1A dry morsel with gladness is better than a house full of sacrifices along with conflict.
24It is better to sit in a corner of the attic, than with an argumentative woman and in a shared house.
1A mild response shatters anger. But a harsh word stirs up fury.
1Similarly also, wives should be subject to their husbands, so that, even if some do not believe the Word, they may benefit without the Word, through the behavior of these wives, 2as they consider with fear your chaste behavior. 3For you, there should be no unnecessary adornment of the hair, or surrounding with gold, or the wearing of ornate clothing. 4Instead, you should be a hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptibility of a quiet and meek spirit, rich in the sight of God. 5For in this way, in past times also, holy women adorned themselves, hoping in God, being subject to their own husbands. 6For so Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. You are her daughters, well-behaved and unafraid of any disturbance.
3Old women, similarly, should be in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well, 4so that they may teach prudence to the young women, so that they may love their husbands, love their children, 5be sensible, chaste, restrained, have concern for the household, be kind, be subordinate to their husbands: so that the Word of God may be not blasphemed.
29Whoever is patient is governed by much prudence. But whoever is impatient exalts his foolishness.
26“Be angry, but do not be willing to sin.” Do not let the sun set over your anger. 27Provide no place for the devil.
19Do not defend yourselves, dearest ones. Instead, step aside from wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is mine. I shall give retribution, says the Lord.”
8But now you must set aside all these things: anger, indignation, malice, blasphemy, and indecent speech from your mouth.
18A short-tempered man provokes conflicts. Whoever is patient tempers those who are stirred up.
11A foolish one offers everything on his mind. A wise one reserves and defers until later.
22Wives should be submissive to their husbands, as to the Lord.
