What is a Godly Woman Anyway? Part Three

OK, here it is. A list of qualities, which, according to the Word of God, describe the qualities of a "godly woman." No opinions, no agendas, no cultural molds, no additives or preservatives. Compare these with your current paradigm:

• She helps and supports her husband (Gen. 2:18)

• She is a good worker (Prov. 31:13, 15, 18, 27)
