A. Women's place in spiritual ministries may equal or surpass men's:

GAL 3:28. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

ROM 2:11. For there is no respect of persons with God.

B. Women disciples & leading workers of the early church:

MAR 16:9. Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

LUK 8:1. And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

LUK 8:2. And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

LUK 8:3. And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

JOH 20:1. The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

JOH 20:2. Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the LORD out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

JOH 20:3. Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

JOH 20:4. So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

JOH 20:5. And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

JOH 20:6. Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

JOH 20:7. And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

JOH 20:8. Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

JOH 20:9. For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

JOH 20:10. Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

JOH 20:11. But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

JOH 20:12. And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

JOH 20:13. And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my LORD, and I know not where they have laid him.

JOH 20:14. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

JOH 20:15. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

JOH 20:16. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

JOH 20:17. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

JOH 20:18. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

JOH 19:25. Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

ROM 16:1. I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:

ROM 16:2. That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.

ROM 16:3. Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:

ROM 16:4. Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

ACT 18:2. 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 unto them.

ACT 18:18. And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.

1COR 16:16. That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.

1TH 5:12. And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

1TH 5:13. And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

PHI 4:3. And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.

ROM 16:12. Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord.

ROM 16:13. Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

1TIM 5:1. Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;

2TIM 4:21. Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

C. Paul's personal preferences were not intended to be taken as law:

1COR 14:34. Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.

1COR 14:35. 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.

JOE 2:28. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

ACT 2:17. And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

1TIM 2:12. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

1COR 7:6. But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

1COR 7:12. But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

1COR 7:25. Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

D. Wives who were honoured & exalted:

JDG 13:1. And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.

JDG 13:2. And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not.

JDG 13:3. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.

JDG 13:4. Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:

JDG 13:5. For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.

JDG 13:6. Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name:

JDG 13:7. But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.

JDG 13:8. Then Manoah intreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.

JDG 13:9. And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her.

1SA 25:38. And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died.

1SA 25:39. And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.

2KI 4:8. And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.

2KI 4:9. And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.

2KI 4:10. Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.

2KI 4:11. And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.

2KI 4:12. And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.

2KI 4:13. And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.

2KI 4:14. And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.

2KI 4:15. And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.

2KI 4:16. And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.

2KI 4:17. And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.

2KI 4:18. And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.

2KI 4:19. And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.

2KI 4:20. And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.

2KI 4:21. And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.

2KI 4:22. And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.

2KI 4:23. And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.

2KI 4:24. Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.

2KI 4:25. So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:

2KI 4:26. Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well:

2KI 4:27. And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.

2KI 4:28. Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?

2KI 4:29. Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.

2KI 4:30. And the mother of the child said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.

2KI 4:31. And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.

2KI 4:32. And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.

2KI 4:33. He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD.

2KI 4:34. And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

2KI 4:35. Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

2KI 4:36. And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.

2KI 4:37. Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.

2KI 8:1. Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.

2KI 8:2. And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.

2KI 8:3. And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land.

2KI 8:4. And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.

2KI 8:5. And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.

2KI 8:6. And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.

LUK 1:26. And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

LUK 1:27. To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

LUK 1:28. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

LUK 1:29. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

LUK 1:30. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

LUK 1:31. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

LUK 1:32. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

LUK 1:33. And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

LUK 1:34. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

LUK 1:35. And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

LUK 1:56. And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.

MAT 1:18. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

MAT 1:19. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.

MAT 1:20. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

MAT 1:21. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

LUK 1:46. And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

LUK 1:47. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

LUK 1:48. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

JDG 4:17. Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.

JDG 4:18. And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.

JDG 4:19. And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.

JDG 4:20. Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.

JDG 4:21. Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.

JDG 4:22. And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.

2SA 20:1. And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.

2SA 20:2. So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.

2SA 20:7. And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.

2SA 20:13. When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.

2SA 20:14. And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel, and to Bethmaachah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him.

2SA 20:15. And they came and besieged him in Abel of Bethmaachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.

2SA 20:16. Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.

2SA 20:17. And when he was come near unto her, the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he answered, I am he. Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.

2SA 20:18. Then she spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter.

2SA 20:19. I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?

2SA 20:20. And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.

2SA 20:21. The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.

2SA 20:22. Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent, and Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.

JDG 5:6. In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.

JDG 5:7. The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.

JDG 5:8. They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?

JDG 5:10. Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.

JDG 5:11. They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates.

JDG 5:29. Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,

LUK 1:43. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
