The woman NOT to be:
"And withal they learn to be idle,wandering about from house to house;and not only idle,but tattlers also and busybodies,speaking things which they ought not."~ 1 Timothy 5:13
From the above text,we can conclude that God forbids being:
idle-not working hard/lazy.When God placed mankind in the garden of Eden he gave him work (Genesis 2:15).SOP goes to say work was there to keep mankind busy to aid in his development.SOP goes on to say idleness is a curse and satan finds/tempts idle hands.
busybody-a person who is too interested in what other people are doing.God gives us counsel on how to avoid this:"11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, 12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody."~1 Thessalonians 4:11,12
Speaking which ought not be:"God detests lying lips".Also God counsels us in SOP that,instead of gossiping we should speak of His wondrous love.
tattle-gossip/tattle-talk.God counsels us,"Let your speech be alway with grace,seasoned with salt.that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man"~Colossians 4:6
The woman TO be:
"I will therefore that younger women marry,bear children,GUIDE THE HOUSE,GIVE NONE OCCASION TO SPEAK REPROACHFULLY."~1 Timothy 5:14
"The aged women likewise,that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness,not false accusers,not given to much wine,teachers of good things;that they may teach young women to be sober,to love their husbands,to love their children."-Titus 2:3-4
This text simply tells me I need a mentor in my life.It also DEFINES the role of women.Women are not called to preach,lead but tio teach other women and children.
"To be discreet,chaste,keepers at home,good,obedient to their own husbands,that the word of God may not be blasphemed."~Titus 2:5
God is calling for godly women,who are seeking to be His instruments and who are willing forsake all for His glory.
We are called to be discreet,chaste,and married women are NOT only for these two but to be:keepers at home and to obey their husbands.
discreet-careful in what you say or do,in order to keep something secret/avoid causing embarrassment for somebody
unlikely to attract attention
This tells me:our words are to be CAREFULLY selected and would have us holy in conversation(1 Peter 3:11) and we are to avoid seeking attention or doing things that will grab other people's attention.e.gPassing on a group of guys so they can notice you?Dressing so as to be seen
chaste-not having sex with anyone;only having sex with someone you are married to
not expressing sexual feelings
simple and plain in style;not decorated
We are to be mindful of the fact that,our bodies are the temple of God and they belong to him (1 Corinthians 6:19,20).We are to refrain from watching,reading,doing that which is impure-Philippians 4:8 and 2 Peter 3:14.Furthermore,God wants us to refrain from fornication (1 Corinthians 6:18) as only those who are married are allowed to participate in sexual activity (1 Corinthians 7:2).
We are also to refrain from allowing ourselves to be touched by the opposite sex,as Paul says,an unmarried man should not touch a woman (1 Corithians 7:1).So, no hugging and kissing!
God has also called us to simplicity in dress.Thus ,we are to refrain from make-up and jewellery or anything that attracts attention.
God would have wives as home-keepers-but I also believe those who would like to get married one day should be equipped concerning home duties.
