敬畏上帝的婦女：一. 重視家庭生活Value The family life
例1. 撒拉 Sarah
1Peter 3:1 彼前 3:1 你們作妻子的要順服自己的丈夫；這樣，若有不信從道理的丈夫，他們雖然不聽道，也可以因妻子的品行被感化過來； 3:2 這正是因看見你們有貞潔的品行和敬畏的心。 3:3 你們不要以外面的辮頭髮，戴金飾，穿美衣為妝飾，3:4 只要以裡面存著長久溫柔，安靜的心為妝飾；這在神面前是極寶貴的。 3:5 因為古時仰賴神的聖潔婦人正是以此為妝飾，順服自己的丈夫， 3:6 就如撒拉聽從亞伯拉罕，稱他為主。你們若行善，不因恐嚇而害怕，便是撒拉的女兒了。
1. 尊重順服丈夫 Respect and Obey Husband
撒拉如何順從丈夫亞伯拉罕？她聽從丈夫的話（創世記）。
How Sarah Obey Abraham? (Genesis)
才德的婦人 -Pro箴言 31:11 他丈夫心裡倚靠他，必不缺少利益Her husband has full confidence in her and lack nothing of value； 31:12 他一生使丈夫有益無損 She brings him good not harm, all the days of her life。妻子是丈夫的伴侶和幫助 Wife is husband’s helper and companion (Gen創2:18）
例2 – 收生婆 Midwife
出 1:15 有希伯來的兩個收生婆，一名施弗拉，一名普阿；埃及王對他們說 1:16 「你們為希伯來婦人收生，看他們臨盆的時候，若是男孩，就把他殺了；若是女孩，就留他存活。」1:17 但是收生婆敬畏神，不照埃及王的吩咐行，竟存留男孩的性命。1:18 埃及王召了收生婆來，說：「你們為什麼做這事，存留男孩的性命呢？」 出1:19 收生婆對法老說：「因為希伯來婦人與埃及婦人不同；希伯來婦人本是健壯的（原文作活潑的），收生婆還沒有到，他們已經生產了。」 1:20 神厚待收生婆。以色列人多起來，極其強盛。1:21 收生婆因為敬畏神，神便叫他們成立家室。
Exo 1:15-21: 15 The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah, 16 “When you are helping the Hebrew women during childbirth on the delivery stool, if you see that the baby is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live.” 17 The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live. 18 Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, “Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?” 19 The midwives answered Pharaoh, “Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive.” 20 So God was kind to the midwives and the people increased and became even more numerous. 21 And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.

例3 – 保羅的教誨 Paul’s Teaching
