Question 1.
What did you learn about the position women occupy in the church?
As you study today’s lesson think about some of the ways you can portray biblical womanhood to others from that position.
Answer:
Women are not to be in positions of leadership. They are to pay attention to biblical teaching. They can teach Sunday school to young children, sing in the choir and be of help in many ways, like in the office.
Ways I could portray biblical womanhood to others from that position:
Having a kind and loving, gentle, quite spirit.
Being modest, not a worldly fashion hound
Being a prayer warrior
Not gossiping
Devoted to husband
be self-controlled
Be willing to train younger women ( not durning church tho)
Putting God first and husband second, not the world
Not nagging, quarrelsome, argumentative, pushy, domineering, manipulative, but rather speaking kind, gentle, wise words.
Be responsive to my husband 's leadership

I will do part of this question today as I am feeling a little sick (fighting a little cold maybe. I slept most of yesterday)
1 Corinthians 11:1-16
Compare the format of this introduction (2-3) to the format of the introduction of the letters to three of the seven churches in Revelation. Describe this format noting how the word “but” acts as a pivot point for all four passages. For what does Paul commend the Corinthian church? (2) “But” in what ”? (3) Explain what verse 3 means as it applies to the day-to-day functioning of the church both in Corinth and today. What is the authority “flow chart” for the church?
answer:
It starts with the good commendable and the but is the pivot to mentioning errors etc.
"2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you."
The areas of church life does Paul imply the Corinthians are not “getting it , seem to be in how the worship service is conducted and social customs
The first but seems to be about leadership or headship then about women dressed in an inappropriate manner for the customs of the day that appears immoral, not modest , or degrading, the next was the same issues but about hair , and then it was about contentions.
Verse 3 explains the 3 fold order of authority, when it speaks of God the Father as head of Christ it is in reference to him in his humanity, not as God the son who is equal. since Christ is the head of man and man of woman, he is also the authority of women.
Therefore God is the ultimate authority, then men, and women do not rule in church, which is the same today.
Verse 3 serves as the main idea or theme of this passage. What is the main theological point God is trying to drive home to the church?
answer
I think maybe it could be that the church is to follow the proper order of authority
To what event in biblical history is Paul referring in 7b-9? Compare these verses with 1 Timothy 2:12-14. Explain how the creative order (man created first, woman second / man as head, woman as helper) is the cornerstone of the authority structure (3) in the family and the church.
answer
The creation of man in the garden of Eden. God created Adam first then Eve.
Explain how the creative order (man created first, woman second / man as head, woman as helper) is the cornerstone of the authority structure
this is one of those questions I have a hard time with because, in part, it seems like that
is the answer, that the creative order is the cornerstone of the authority structure.
This is where you need to help again 😂 and the same would be true for the family the husband is the head (not as a dictator) but after along has been considered he as the leader will have to make a decision. The same is true in the church.
In 4-5 and 14-15, Paul uses two separate examples from Corinthian culture that demonstrate the differences between men and women in order to illustrate the concept of the hierarchy of authority in the church. What are those two examples? Is God commanding that Christian women today must have long hair and must cover their heads when praying? Is God commanding that Christian men today must have short hair and must never cover their heads while praying?
answer
Men should not cover their head praying or prophesying, while women should
and
men should not have long hair but women should.
however, God is NOT commanding that Christian women today must have long hair and must cover their heads when praying? nor Is God commanding that Christian men today must have short hair and must never cover their heads while praying
In Corinthian culture, one of the ways women could portray biblical womanhood in the church was to signify by wearing their veils that they embraced submitting to their husbands and to the authority structure of the church. Can you think of any similar ways women can portray biblical womanhood today?
answer
dressing Modestly not in the latest sexy worldly manner

answer
2. Carefully examine the 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 passage. (As you study this passage, it may help to keep in mind that, unless widowed, virtually every adult woman in the church would have been married. That was the cultural norm. So Paul is able to use the terms “women” and “wives” nearly interchangeably. Click on the “Read These Selected Scriptures” link above and read the footnote (c) for verse 5.)
So you'll need to do that next.
Question: Verse 3 serves as the main idea or theme of this passage. What is the main theological point God is trying to drive home to the church?
your answer:
I think maybe it could be that the church is to follow the proper order of authority
You actually told part of what the theological point was in a previous answer. His main theological point is that of headship, not just for when we're at Church, but all the time, including when we've gathered to worship.
Here's part of one of MacArthur's sermons on verse 3 which may help: “Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.” (1 Corinthians 11:3)
Verse 3 is the statement that would cover everything. The rest of it is an explanation of the statement in verse 3. In the relationship between man & woman, there is authority & submission. In the relationship between men & God, there is authority & submission. In the relationship between God & God, there is authority & submission. If Christ does not submit to the Father, then redemption is not accomplished. The entire universe is pervaded by this concept. What is new here is not that the wife is to be subject to her husband. That isn't new, because the OT taught that. What is new is the vastness, the scope of this principle. "The head of the woman is the man." Man has authority over woman. He's not just speaking of marriage, people, he is speaking of every dimension of living in general. The man must recognize that God has given him authority, & he has to accept that & take it & rule for God. The woman must realize in any relationship that she has been given the place of submission. 3rd "The head of Christ is God." If you don't like that, then you just really have to stop & think about the fact that it says that the head of Christ is God, & Christ loves it. The Subordination and Equality of Women
You didn't answer any of the other questions, which is good because now it will be easier for you to start with the first question on number two that you skipped lol.
I'll quote the rest of the lesson for you again to make it easier for you. Imperishable Beauty: Lesson 15- A Beautiful Portrayal of Biblical Womanhood in the Church by Michelle Lesley
Read These Selected Scriptures
1 Corinthians 11:1-16,
1 Timothy 2:8-10,
1 Peter 3:3-6,
1 Timothy 5:1-16,
Luke 8:1-3,
Acts 9:36-42,
Acts 16:11-15,
Acts 18:18-19,
Romans 16:3,
1 Corinthians 16:19
In lesson 14 we looked at the beauty of women’s position in the church. Today, we’ll examine how our character can beautifully portray biblical womanhood in the church.
Questions to Consider
1. Briefly review lesson 14 (link above). What did you learn about the position women occupy in the church? As you study today’s lesson think about some of the ways you can portray biblical womanhood to others from that position.
2. Carefully examine the 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 passage. (As you study this passage, it may help to keep in mind that, unless widowed, virtually every adult woman in the church would have been married. That was the cultural norm. So Paul is able to use the terms “women” and “wives” nearly interchangeably. Click on the “Read These Selected Scriptures” link above and read the footnote (c) for verse 5.)
Compare the format of this introduction (2-3) to the format of the introduction of the letters to three of the seven churches in Revelation. Describe this format noting how the word “but” acts as a pivot point for all four passages. For what does Paul commend the Corinthian church? (2) “But” in what area of church life does Paul imply the Corinthians are not “getting it”? (3) Explain what verse 3 means as it applies to the day-to-day functioning of the church both in Corinth and today. What is the authority “flow chart” for the church?
Verse 3 serves as the main idea or theme of this passage. What is the main theological point God is trying to drive home to the church?
To what event in biblical history is Paul referring in 7b-9? Compare these verses with 1 Timothy 2:12-14. Explain how the creative order (man created first, woman second / man as head, woman as helper) is the cornerstone of the authority structure (3) in the family and the church.
In 4-5 and 14-15, Paul uses two separate examples from Corinthian culture that demonstrate the differences between men and women in order to illustrate the concept of the hierarchy of authority in the church. What are those two examples? Is God commanding that Christian women today must have long hair and must cover their heads when praying? Is God commanding that Christian men today must have short hair and must never cover their heads while praying?
In Corinthian culture, one of the ways women could portray biblical womanhood in the church was to signify by wearing their veils that they embraced submitting to their husbands and to the authority structure of the church. Can you think of any similar ways women can portray biblical womanhood today?
3. Examine the 1 Timothy 2 and 1 Peter 3 passages. What is the venue or setting for the instructions in each? (You may need to look at more of each chapter.) Locate the word “but” in each of these passages (2:10, 3:4), noting the concept that comes before the word “but” and after it. Describe how women are not to adorn themselves. “But” describe how women are to adorn themselves. Are things like braids, jewelry, and clothes intrinsically sinful, or is Paul again giving cultural examples to illustrate a theological point he’s making? What is that point? What is it about the bent of women’s hearts that would cause God to give this instruction to women in the context of the home and the church, but not to give this instruction to men at all? As godly women, where is our focus to be? How does it benefit the church for us to “wear”, or portray, biblical womanhood by adorning ourselves modestly and with good works?
What similar themes do you see in these two passages and the 1 Corinthians 11 passage? How do these three passages work together to demonstrate to us how we may live out biblical womanhood in the church?
4. Locate, in the 1 Timothy 2 (10), 1 Peter 3 (6), and 1 Timothy 5 (10) passages the phrases about doing good works. How are good works a major responsibility of women in the church, and a main way we display biblical womanhood?
Explain the context of the 1 Timothy 5 passage. The passage is talking about women who are _______. But a large part of this passage talks about how these women lived and served the church prior to becoming widows. Make a two column list. On one side, list the good works of all the women (widowed, married, young widows, any believing woman, etc.) mentioned in this passage. On the other side, list some specific ways you and other women in the church can carry out these good works today.
What are the “bad works” to be avoided in this passage? How can focusing on doing good works help us to avoid the bad works?
5. Study the remaining passages (Luke, Acts, Romans, 1 Corinthians) in today’s lesson. How did the women who followed Jesus, Dorcas, Lydia, and Priscilla (Prisca) each portray biblical womanhood in the church by their character and good works? To whom did they minister? How did the church benefit from each of them robustly living out God’s plan for women in the church?

I answered before you posted, or maybe at the same time, so I expect most of my answers will be wrong 😂
But I was totally struggling anyway
I did read question 2 but didn't see a question?
2. Carefully examine the 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 passage.

For the first part of question 2, I think I just thought you'd make a comment about what the footnote said and why that's important to know, or even simply that it covers what she said so you know that it's not her idea, it's God's. On the other hand, it's entirely possible that I was just totally confused from lack of sleep, and messed up. I say that because when I looked back at your post, I realized that I'd never replied to the rest of your answers, so I'll do that now. Sorry about that!
I will do part of this question today as I am feeling a little sick (fighting a little cold maybe. I slept most of yesterday)
1 Corinthians 11:1-16
Compare the format of this introduction (2-3) to the format of the introduction of the letters to three of the seven churches in Revelation.

answer:
It starts with the good commendable and the but is the pivot to mentioning errors etc.
"2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you."
The areas of church life does Paul imply the Corinthians are not “getting it , seem to be in how the worship service is conducted and social customs
The first but seems to be about leadership or headship then about women dressed in an inappropriate manner for the customs of the day that appears immoral, not modest , or degrading, the next was the same issues but about hair , and then it was about contentions.
Verse 3 explains the 3 fold order of authority, when it speaks of God the Father as head of Christ it is in reference to him in his humanity, not as God the son who is equal. since Christ is the head of man and man of woman, he is also the authority of women.
Therefore God is the ultimate authority, then men, and women do not rule in church, which is the same today.

Good!
You said again here that: Verse 3 explains the 3 fold order of authority, when it speaks of God the Father as head of Christ it is in reference to him in his humanity, not as God the son who is equal. since Christ is the head of man and man of woman, he is also the authority of women. But Paul says nothing about Christ being the head of woman, he says that man is the head of woman. Obviously, we know that Jesus is the very top of the chain of command, but on earth, the man is who the woman is to answer to, just as though he represented Jesus to her. That's what Paul is trying to get across to the women in Corinth. They were saying they didn't have to submit to the men, they only had to submit to Christ, but God ordained this hierarchy and therefore we are to submit to men.
I already explained about the main theological theme in my earlier reply. Here it is again though:
You actually told part of what the theological point was in a previous answer. His main theological point is that of headship, not just for when we're at Church, but all the time, including when we've gathered to worship.
Here's part of one of MacArthur's sermons on verse 3 which may help: “Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.” (1 Corinthians 11:3)

If you don't like that, then you just really have to stop & think about the fact that it says that the head of Christ is God, & Christ loves it. The Subordination and Equality of Women
You didn't answer any of the other questions, which is good because now it will be easier for you to start with the first question on number two that you skipped lol.
Then you had trouble with this question: Explain how the creative order (man created first, woman second / man as head, woman as helper) is the cornerstone of the authority structure. I know what you mean about it seeming like the answer is in the question itself lol. I guess the only way I can think of to say it would be that the story of creation is the first time that God shows us that man is the head over woman, and then like you said, it's again shown all through the bible in every area of life to make sure we understand that this is what God has ordained.
Your next answer about men and women and covering the head while praying is correct, but I'm unsure about why the question mark is in the middle of your answer...was that a typo or were you unsure about it? Just in case I'll copy what MacArthur said about verse 5 here which answers the question: woman … while praying or prophesying. Paul makes clear directives that women are not to lead or speak in the services of the church, but they may pray and proclaim the truth to unbelievers, as well as teaching children and other women. See note on Ac 21:9. Wherever and whenever women do pray and proclaim the Word appropriately, they must do so maintaining a proper distinction from men. uncovered. In the culture of Corinth, a woman’s covered head while ministering or worshiping was a symbol to signify a subordinate relationship to her husband. The apostle is not laying down an absolute law for women to wear veils or coverings in all churches for all time, but is declaring that the symbols of the divinely-established male and female roles are to be genuinely honored in every culture. As in the case of meat offered to idols (chaps. 8, 9), there is nothing spiritual about wearing or not wearing a covering. But manifesting rebellion against God’s order was wrong. The MacArthur study Bible
The last question was: In Corinthian culture, one of the ways women could portray biblical womanhood in the church was to signify by wearing their veils that they embraced submitting to their husbands and to the authority structure of the church. Can you think of any similar ways women can portray biblical womanhood today? your answer: dressing Modestly not in the latest sexy worldly manner. That's true, but it doesn't show the submission to men that veils did. I would think that not dressing like a man would be one answer, or not having a hairstyle that is generally thought to be a mans, or wearing men's jewelry, or acting like a man in any way. That wouldn't mean that you couldn't wear pants, only that they should be the kind of pants worn by women and not those worn by men. (which is difficult today since everyone wears jeans, and yet women's jeans are made differently then men's - or at least they used to be. Who knows anymore though!

I guess I keep thinking if a husband asks a wife to do something against God, then God is her authority or head she should submit to.
Yes the '?' was a typo.
The virtual keyboard sometimes jumps, on its own,
from caps to lower case
and to the up arrow (which has various symbols etc.)
so I sometimes miss it, as I may be looking at the string of words above etc.
If you wonder about my shorter replies it is because I am using the virtual keyboard and although it has some good points, it also is basically harder for me to use for very long time.
I am not sure why, because the longer I use it, the more it seems to be anticipating my choices of words and style of writing, so it may get better with time.
But for a bit my posts may be on the short side.
Did I forget to answer a question?
😕
I am already tired 😂

I will do half today and the other half tomorrow
Question 3.
Examine the 1 Timothy 2 and 1 Peter 3 passages. What is the venue or setting for the instructions in each? (You may need to look at more of each chapter.)
Answer
In church
Locate the word “but” in each of these passages (2:10, 3:4), noting the concept that comes before the word “but” and after it. Describe how women are not to adorn themselves.
Answer
Not externally, whatever is the latest fashion be it—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, pearls or costly attire, the clothing you wear etc
“But” describe how women are to adorn themselves. Are things like braids, jewelry, and clothes intrinsically sinful, or is Paul again giving cultural examples to illustrate a theological point he’s making?
Answer
braids, jewelry, and clothes are not intrinsically sinful, Paul is giving cultural examples to illustrate a theological point he’s making
What is that point?
What is it about the bent of women’s hearts that would cause God to give this instruction to women in the context of the home and the church, but not to give this instruction to men at all?
Answer
I think the point is women are not in church to be a fashion plate,in order to draw attention to themselves, but rather to worship God. I think this is in general more of a sin trap for women then men, just look at the massive fashion industry. Women seem to crave attention for their outward looks way more then men.
As godly women, where is our focus to be?
Answer
our focus is to be on worshiping God and learning more about Him
Not about how pretty we are looking and who might be admiring us
How does it benefit the church for us to “wear”, or portray, biblical womanhood by adorning ourselves modestly and with good works?
Answer
I think it might prevent distractions like jealousy, lust, envy etc
It could also model (ha ha 'model') good and Godly behavior to other women
So they too will keep their minds stayed on God and not themselves.
What similar themes do you see in these two passages and the 1 Corinthians 11 passage?
Answer
Women are not to be focused on self and getting attention
They are to pay attention to worship and prayer and learning
They are to be submissive to their husbands
to understand the chain of command
They are to be modest
Be peaceful, quiet, and dignified
How do these three passages work together to demonstrate to us how we may live out biblical womanhood in the church?
Answer
LOL
Once again I thought in a way that was just answered in the question above?
Or I don't understand what she is asking exactly?
So I wait for you to 'break it down ' as 'they' say
Sigh

I guess I keep thinking if a husband asks a wife to do something against God, then God is her authority or head she should submit to.
Yes the '?' was a typo.
The virtual keyboard sometimes jumps, on its own,
from caps to lower case
and to the up arrow (which has various symbols etc.)
so I sometimes miss it, as I may be looking at the string of words above etc.
If you wonder about my shorter replies it is because I am using the virtual keyboard and although it has some good points, it also is basically harder for me to use for very long time.
I am not sure why, because the longer I use it, the more it seems to be anticipating my choices of words and style of writing, so it may get better with time.
But for a bit my posts may be on the short side.
Did I forget to answer a question?
😕
I am already tired 😂
I don't know if you forgot one or not...if you did, I'm sure I would have said something.....
I hope you'll be able to get a new keyboard soon. Sorry you're feeling so tired lately too. I've been having a hard time sleeping some nights as well.
I will do half today and the other half tomorrow
Question 3.
Examine the 1 Timothy 2 and 1 Peter 3 passages. What is the venue or setting for the instructions in each? (You may need to look at more of each chapter.)
Answer
In church
Locate the word “but” in each of these passages (2:10, 3:4), noting the concept that comes before the word “but” and after it. Describe how women are not to adorn themselves.
Answer
Not externally, whatever is the latest fashion be it—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, pearls or costly attire, the clothing you wear etc
“But” describe how women are to adorn themselves. Are things like braids, jewelry, and clothes intrinsically sinful, or is Paul again giving cultural examples to illustrate a theological point he’s making?
Answer
braids, jewelry, and clothes are not intrinsically sinful, Paul is giving cultural examples to illustrate a theological point he’s making
What is that point?
What is it about the bent of women’s hearts that would cause God to give this instruction to women in the context of the home and the church, but not to give this instruction to men at all?
Answer
I think the point is women are not in church to be a fashion plate,in order to draw attention to themselves, but rather to worship God. I think this is in general more of a sin trap for women then men, just look at the massive fashion industry. Women seem to crave attention for their outward looks way more then men.
As godly women, where is our focus to be?
Answer
How does it benefit the church for us to “wear”, or portray, biblical womanhood by adorning ourselves modestly and with good works?
Answer
What similar themes do you see in these two passages and the 1 Corinthians 11 passage?
Answer
How do these three passages work together to demonstrate to us how we may live out biblical womanhood in the church?
Answer

Your answer is great, other than forgetting about the home part; and what you said applies to the home as well. I think part of the reason the "home" part is important here is also because when we think of Church, we think of another building that's specific for our worship; but in that time, they generally worshiped in people's homes or even at synagogues. Before 70 ad, they worshiped at the Temple in the courts there as well as at people's homes or at synagogues. Basically they worshiped anywhere and everywhere they could! Funny, today people don't like going to church and often try to get out of it, or if they do go, they want the sermon to be as short as possible so they can get back to their life. That's the world for you though, and our sin nature. Those who are listening to the Holy Spirit and abiding in Christ, are like the first Christians. They're ready to worship anytime, anywhere and love to worship God. They love learning about Him, and wish the sermons were longer. They're doing what they love to do, so leaving is the last thing they'd think about for the most part.

I just remembered what question you still haven't answered. yesterday I was thinking you meant a bible study question and I couldn't think of one. But just now I realized that you still haven't replied to what I asked about the book, The Joy Project. It doesn't matter though at this point. I told you that you could post whatever you wanted to about it on facebook.
I'll wait till Monday to post the new Bible study on this as you still have a way to go on this one. I hope you get rested up and are feeling better soon; and can get a new keyboard too!

not good news about the keyboard.
Leonard took computer to repair guy, who said that to repair would cost about the same as buying a new one.
So we may eventually get a refurbished one.
Which means that for awhile I will probably post shorter

I will do half today and the other half tomorrow
Here's the other half and it was above the unfinished post, not sure how that happened

Answer

“But” describe how women are to adorn themselves. Are things like braids, jewelry, and clothes intrinsically sinful, or is Paul again giving cultural examples to illustrate a theological point he’s making?

As godly women, where is our focus to be?
Answer
our focus is to be on worshiping God and learning more about Him
Not about how pretty we are looking and who might be admiring us
How does it benefit the church for us to “wear”, or portray, biblical womanhood by adorning ourselves modestly and with good works?
Answer
I think it might prevent distractions like jealousy, lust, envy etc
It could also model (ha ha 'model') good and Godly behavior to other women
So they too will keep their minds stayed on God and not themselves.
What similar themes do you see in these two passages and the 1 Corinthians 11 passage?
Answer
Women are not to be focused on self and getting attention
They are to pay attention to worship and prayer and learning
They are to be submissive to their husbands
to understand the chain of command
They are to be modest
Be peaceful, quiet, and dignified
How do these three passages work together to demonstrate to us how we may live out biblical womanhood in the church?
Answer
LOL
Once again I thought in a way that was just answered in the question above?
Or I don't understand what she is asking exactly?
So I wait for you to 'break it down ' as 'they' say
Sigh

I thought I was going crazy yesterday because it looked like you hadn't posted anything more, but then when I scrolled back, it looked like you had posted, or that maybe we posted at the same time. Yet when I looked at the time stamps, it wasn't at the same time. It finally occurred to me to look at the edit times and that's when it finally began to make sense....I think. Then today the same thing happened. I was just about to leave this thread assuming you simply hadn't done anymore on the study, but I wanted to double check what I'd written before and see if I could figure out why I'd typed three instead of two. Then I did a double take, thinking like I did yesterday at first, that I'd somehow missed half of your reply. But I remembered that you had put "answer" and left it blank and I was sure I wasn't seeing things or remembering wrong. Yet now all those blank answers have been filled in! Please don't do that anymore. Just quote your own post and then fill in the blanks, or start fresh. You know how to quote now and even how to quote more then one post at a time, so I'm not sure what made you start doing this, but it won't work this way. It's just way to confusing, OK?
Also, it makes it difficult for me too because you don't list the entire original study so I have to constantly go back and look for that to see which scriptures your reply is talking about. So when I post her next study, I'll take the time to add the right scriptures to each question so that when you quote the questions, the scriptures will be in them.
To make this easier on me, I'm going to reply to the questions inside your post and then I'll reply at the end in general about it all. So look at the part where I quote your reply to see my reply lol
I will do half today and the other half tomorrow

As godly women, where is our focus to be?
Answer
our focus is to be on worshiping God and learning more about Him
Not about how pretty we are looking and who might be admiring us
Remember her questions involve both church AND home. While we certainly do worship God at home, I'm not sure that's what our focus should be all the time. Instead, I'd suggest something like what's said in the following verses:
“Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.” (1 Peter 3:4)
“like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.” (1 Peter 3:6)
“but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.” (1 Timothy 2:10)
Looking at the above verses and taking into consideration what each of the chapters say about this, I'd say that our focus is to be on our inner selves rather than on outward beauty. I like the way Paul speaks about the inner life and the outer life as it's appropriate for this too. “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. (our inner self, a gentle and quiet spirit, etc) For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:18)
1 Peter 3:6 can be a difficult verse, so I've posted it in several different translations so you can see the different ways it's translated. That often helps me to understand a verse better.
NIV | 1 Pe 3:6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
AV | 1 Pe 3:6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
ESV | 1 Pe 3:6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.
NASB95 | 1 Pe 3:6 just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.
NET | 1 Pe 3:6 like Sarah who obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. You become her children when you do what is good and have no fear in doing so.
Please feel free to share what you think the answer to the question should be now that you understand what she's looking for.
How does it benefit the church for us to “wear”, or portray, biblical womanhood by adorning ourselves modestly and with good works?
Answer
I think it might prevent distractions like jealousy, lust, envy etc
It could also model (ha ha 'model') good and Godly behavior to other women
So they too will keep their minds stayed on God and not themselves.
Very good! Yes it will prevent distractions and also it will prevent us from causing a brother or sister to sin. (like if a woman becomes envious of what we're wearing or of our figure, or if a man seeing us begins to lust after us; both will have sinned and it would have been our fault)
What similar themes do you see in these two passages and the 1 Corinthians 11 passage?
Answer
Women are not to be focused on self and getting attention
They are to pay attention to worship and prayer and learning
They are to be submissive to their husbands
to understand the chain of command
They are to be modest
Be peaceful, quiet, and dignified
Very good! All of what you listed is true, but those are the things Paul used to make various points about his themes.
I would have said that the theme for 1 Peter 3:3-6 was our inner selves;and
for 1 Timothy 2:8–10 I would say the theme is to control ourselves (like controlling our thoughts and words and feelings). and
for 1 Corinthians 11:1–16 I would say the theme is to understand our place in God's plan for women. (in other words that we're to submit to men and why and that it doesn't make us inferior, and that we're needed as much as men are etc). .
How do these three passages work together to demonstrate to us how we may live out biblical womanhood in the church?
Answer
LOL
Once again I thought in a way that was just answered in the question above?
Or I don't understand what she is asking exactly?
So I wait for you to 'break it down ' as 'they' say
Sigh
I'll answer this one below....
I'm going to try to explain in a way that doesn't actually answer the question, so you can answer it yourself. If you look at what i said the themes of each section of scripture were, can you then show how those themes work together to show us how to live out biblical womanhood in the church? Of course you're more then welcome to choose your own themes too. I did that part very quickly and wrote the first thing that came to mind, so you can probably do better anyway lol.
editing as I just thought of something that might help.... If we had a list of bicycle parts, like the handlebars, the tires, the seat, the pedals, etc and then someone asked us how those things worked together, we'd tell them that together they made a bicycle that we could ride. So how do the themes Paul spoke of in those passages work together to demonstrate how we can live out biblical womanhood in the church?
I'm afraid I'm so groggy and tired today that I'm not thinking very well anyway.

I think I understand what you said about posting. The reason I left 1/2 unanswered that way was because in order to complete it the next day I would have to have searched for it on the previous page somewhere.
Also I think I misunderstood you
from awhile back.
I thought you said to do it that way LOL
Oye vey!
Anyway, I understood your explanation but for some reason I can't put it together.
I did find it helpful what you said concerning our focus is to be on our inner self ( a gentle and quiet spirit) than outward looks
and submission to husband and men.
It seems all the passages say that they thus work together to demonstrate how we can live out biblical womanhood in the church?
see, something is not connecting the dots
I started to feel a bit envious that you are not only able to discern what she is asking, but have such great answers
But I quickly remembered how blessed I am that God allowed me to have you as a sister in Christ and ask forgiveness

4.
Locate, in the 1 Timothy 2 (10), 1 Peter 3 (6), and 1 Timothy 5 (10) passages the phrases about doing good works. How are good works a major responsibility of women in the church, and a main way we display biblical womanhood?
Answer:
Again I don't think I understand
I will have to take a stab at it blind
God has declared women to be helpers, in all aspects of life
And also to be submissive to husbands and men
"And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." (Col. 3:17)
This is a main way we display biblical womanhood ??
Explain the context of the 1 Timothy 5 passage. The passage is talking about women who are _______.
Answer:
Widows
But a large part of this passage talks about how these women lived and served the church prior to becoming widows. Make a two column list. On one side, list the good works of all the women (widowed, married, young widows, any believing woman, etc.) mentioned in this passage.
On the other side, list some specific ways you and other women in the church can carry out these good works today.
Answer:
the wife of one husband
Don't divorce and remarry, but if you have in the past, do not do it again
brought up children
Raise your children to be godly
shown hospitality
Show shown hospitality in the church and home
washed the feet of the saints
Be of help to you husband and pastor (if you can)
cared for the afflicted
To the degree you can help the poor and/or sick
devoted herself to every good work
Do likewise
What are the “bad works” to be avoided in this passage?
How can focusing on doing good works help us to avoid the bad works?
Answer:
Having passions that draw them away from Christ
being idle
gossiping
Being a busybody
saying what they should not
However when you are busy doing good works, you don't have time for many of these sins.

Answer:
Having passions that draw them away from Christ

Being a busybody
saying what they should not
However when you are busy doing good works, you don't have time for many of these sins.
“and is well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the saints, helping those in trouble and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds.” (1 Timothy 5:10) “but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.” (1 Timothy 2:10) “as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.” (1 Peter 3:6)
You said the next answer was widows and then there was this question:
But a large part of this passage talks about how these women lived and served the church prior to becoming widows. Make a two column list. On one side, list the good works of all the women (widowed, married, young widows, any believing woman, etc.) mentioned in this passage.
On the other side, list some specific ways you and other women in the church can carry out these good works today.
But you have only one list and I'm not sure which one it is.... could you please clarify? If it's the last part about how you can do these things today, then how would you wash the feet of the saints?
The last list is good, but I would have added something from this verse: “If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” (1 Timothy 5:8) Actually, I would have also had something from this verse at the top of the list of ways we could do good works today as well.
5. Study the remaining passages (Luke 8:1-3, Acts 9:36-42,Acts 16:11-15, Acts 18:18-19 Romans 16:3, 1 Corinthians 16:19) in today’s lesson.
How did the women who followed Jesus, Dorcas, Lydia, and Priscilla (Prisca) each portray biblical womanhood in the church by their character and good works?

They did not demand to be leaders.
To whom did they minister?
Answer:
Jesus, Peter,and the other apostles.
How did the church benefit from each of them robustly living out God’s plan for women in the church?
Answer:
The men were able to devote their time to spreading the gospel and it greatly.
She included Acts 18:18–19 but if you know the story then you know that they met Apollos and taught him as we are told starting in: “He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.” (Acts 18:26) Also, 1 Corinthians 16:19 tells us that the church met in their home, so they were the leaders of a house church! The passage in Acts 9 tells us that Dorcas was a Disciple - in other words, she studied God's Word and lived it, just as the other disciples did. It also tells about her good works, but don't miss the part about her being a disciple! She also gives you Acts 16:11-15 we read: “One of those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.” (Acts 16:14) But what was she listening to? “On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate to the river, where we expected to find a place of prayer. We sat down and began to speak to the women who had gathered there.” (Acts 16:13) These were Jewish women and Jewish proselytes who met each Sabbath to read the OT scriptures and pray. Paul and his friends met them and taught them and Lydia and her household were saved! So we know that she too knew the scriptures and most likely later taught them to others to show them the good news of Christ.
So you see that all the women knew and studied the scriptures and taught them to their families and the rest of their household which would have consisted of slaves, servants, and extended family.
So they ministered to the people you listed but also to their household members, and other Christians, especially new ones.
I'm way behind again today as I'm still in a lot of pain so why don't you work on Acts today if you want to, and I'll post the new study tomorrow, ok?

thank you again
That really helps!
Lol
I did make 2 lists, but didn't know how to make 2 columns side-by-side.
So I did it like this:
Answer:
the wife of one husband (first of list 1)
Don't divorce and remarry, but if you have in the past, do not do it again (first of list 2)
brought up children (list 1)
Raise your children to be godly ( list 2)
shown hospitality (list 1)
Show shown hospitality in the church and home ( list 2)
washed the feet of the saints (list 1)
Be of help to you husband and pastor (if you can)( list 2)
cared for the afflicted (list 1)
To the degree you can help the poor and/or sick ( list 2)
devoted herself to every good work (list 1)
Do likewise ( list 2)
I don't think this is a good answer tho
