Were There Examples Of Righteous Women In The Bible?
-
The law, prophets, apostles and disciples' letters were given for examples for us in these days to have exhortations of how we ought to walk in the holy calling of Ahayah Alahayim through our Lord Yache Christ. Through precepts, there are examples of righteous women in the scriptures. Leah, a wife, whom Jacob loved with all his heart and soul, partly due to her good works in her life, was a testimony of the righteousness of reverence for one's husband and walking in uprightness before Alahayim for women to follow;
Jubilees 36:22-24
and all her sons and his sons came to mourn over Leah his wife with him and to comfort him regarding her, for he was lamenting her for he loved her exceedingly after Rachel her sister died; [23] for she was perfect and upright in all her ways and honoured Jacob, and all the days that she lived with him he did not hear from her mouth a harsh word, for she was gentle and peaceable and upright and honourable. [24] And he remembered all her deeds which she had done during her life and he lamented her exceedingly; for he loved her with all his heart and with all his soul.
-
There are righteous sister of the Gentiles as well, like Zipporah the Midianite woman.
Jasher 78:7-8
In those days Moses, the son of Amram, in Midian, took Zipporah, the daughter of Reuel the Midianite, for
a wife. [8] And Zipporah walked in the ways of the daughters of Jacob, she was nothing short of the righteousness of Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah.
-
(Righteous women are described as those that walk in the good ways of the women of the house of Abraham, so sisters should follow their good works that are shown in the testimonies;
1 Peter 3:1, 3-6, 1-2
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; 3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of Alahayim of great price. 5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in Alahayim, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: 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. 1…that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
-
The Apostle Peter, just admonishes sisters to avoid making the same mistakes that such righteous women made in their growth processes, as the scriptures are given to us for our admonitions of what good things we ought to do and what unprofitable things we ought to avoid for the sake of uprightness in the sight of Alahayim;
1 Corinthians 10:11
Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
All scripture is given by inspiration of Alahayim, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of Alahayim may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
-
An example of this is seen in the fact that sisters should reverence their husbands and walk in the faith as daughters of Sarah, following her example, yet don't make the mistake that she made by being in "fear with amazement" [I Pet 3:6] so that women may be thoroughly furnished in good works without fault, having learned from the admonitions of the scriptures for instructions and reproof in righteousness. For the sisters in the Church of any nation, be encouraged to do well, seeing as though you are the children of Abraham through faith (Gentiles) and by faith (Hebrews) if you maintain good works, believing Alahayim and taking heed to yourselves to walk in the ways of the righteous examples of the women like Sarah, Rebecca, Leah, Rachel, and Zipporah, amongst others.
Galatians 3:7, 26
Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 26 For ye are all the children of Alahayim by faith in Christ Yache.
2 Timothy 2:19
Nevertheless the foundation of Alahayim standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Galatians 3:29
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Titus 3:8
This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in Alahayim might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
-
An example of a woman who took heed to the testimonies and admonitions from the experience of righteous women of old to help her walk uprightly, upholding the faith can be seen in the Hebrew woman in the days of Maccabees who was strong in faith and good works from her youth, remembering how the serpent beguiled Eve, so as not to give herself over to any idolatrous thought or inclination to keep herself pure in her youth. Then remembering Sarah's reverence for her husband, she lived with her husband in like manner; and taking heed to Sarah's shortcoming of 'fear with amazement,' she learned to be strong in temperance, unmoved by any amazement to behold the martyrdom of her sons without being disturbed. So she is a good example of a righteous daughter using the testimonies to help her in her walk to serve Alahayim, being instructed out of the law and testimonies;
4Macc 18:4-15
Now these are the words that the mother of the seven sons, the righteous woman, spake to her children: 'I was a pure maiden, and I strayed not from my father's house, and I kept guard over the rib that was builded into Eve. 5. No seducer of the desert, no deceiver in the field, corrupted me; nor did the false, beguiling Serpent sully the purity of my maidenhood; 6. I lived with my husband all the days of my youth; but when these my sons were grown up, their father died. Happy was he; for he lived a life blessed with children, and he never knew the pain of their loss. 7. Who, while he was yet with us, taught you the Law and the prophets. 8. He read to us of Abel who was slain by Cain, and of Isaac who was offered as a burnt offering, and of Joseph in the prison. 9. And he spake to us of Phineas, the zealous priest, and he taught you the song of Ananias, Azarias, and Mishael in the fire. 10. And he glorified also Daniel in the den of lions, and blessed him; and he called to your minds the saying of Isaiah, "Yea even though thou pass through the fire, the flame shall not hurt thee." 11. He sang to us the words of David the psalmist, "Many are the afflictions of the just."12. He quoted to us the proverb of Solomon, "He is a tree of life to all them that do his will." 13. He confirmed the words of Ezekiel, "Shall these dry bones live?" 14. For he forgat not the song that Moses taught, which teaches, "I will slay and I will make alive. 15. This is your life and the blessedness of your days."'
4Macc 16:1-20
THUS then, if one both a woman and advanced in years, and the mother of seven sons, endured the sight of her children being tortured to death, the Inspired Reason must confessedly be supreme ruler over the passions. 2. I have proved, accordingly, that not only have men triumphed over their sufferings, but that a woman also has despised the most dreadful tortures. 3. And not so fierce were the lions around Daniel, not so hot was the burning fiery furnace of Mishael, as burned in her the instinct of motherhood at the sight of her seven sons being tortured. 4. But by her religion-guided Reason the mother quenched her passions, many and strong as they were. 5. For there is this also to consider, that had the woman been weak of spirit, despite her motherhood, she might have wept over them, and perchance spoken thus: 'Ah, thrice wretched me, and more
than thrice wretched! Seven children have I borne and am left childless! 7. In vain was I seven times with child, and to no profit was my ten months' burden seven times borne, and fruitless have been my nursings, and sorrowful my sucklings. 8. In vain for you, O my sons, did I endure the many pangs of labour, and the more difficult cares of your upbringing. 9. Alas, for my sons, that some were yet unwed, and those that were wedded
had begotten no children; I shall never see children of yours, nor shall I be called by the name of grandparent. 10. Ah me, that had many beautiful children, and am a widow and desolate in my woe! 11. Neither will there be any son to bury me when I am dead!' 12. But the holy and Alahayim-fearing mother wailed not with this lamentation over any one of them, neither besought she any to escape death, nor lamented over them as dying
men; but, as though she had a soul of adamant and were bringing forth the number of her sons, for a second time, into immortal life, she besought rather and entreated of them that they should die for religion's sake.13. O mother, warrior of Alahayim in the cause of religion, old and a woman, thou didst both defeat the tyrant by thy endurance, and wast found stronger than a man, in deeds as well as words. 14. For verily when thou wast put in bonds with thy sons, thou stoodest there seeing Eleazar being tortured, and thou spakest to thy sons in the Hebrew tongue: 15. 'My sons, noble is the fight; and do ye, being called thereto to bear witness for our
nation, fight therein zealously on behalf of the Law of our fathers. 16. For it would be shameful if, while this aged man endured the agony for religion's sake, you that are young men shrank before the pain. 17. Remember that for the sake of Alahayim ye have come into the world, and have enjoyed life, and that therefore ye owe it to Alahayim to endure all pain for his sake; for whom also our father Abraham made haste to sacrifice his son Isaac, the ancestor of our nation; and Isaac, seeing his father's hand lifting the knife against him, did not shrink. 18. And Daniel, the just man, was cast to the lions, and Ananias, Azarias, and Mishael were flung into the furnace of fire, and they endured for Alahayim's sake. 19. And ye also, having the same faith unto Alahayim, be not troubled; for it were against Reason that ye, knowing righteousness, should not withstand the pains.' 20. With these words the mother of the seven encouraged every single one of her sons to die rather than transgress the ordinance of Alahayim; they themselves also knowing well that men dying for Alahayim live unto Alahayim, as live Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the patriarchs.
-
That woman was a great example of one raised of in the law and testimonies and guiding her house acccording to the same. There are more examples like, Susana, to know that faithful women fear (reverence) Ahayah and walk according to the law of Moses. It's also an example for mothers to see that righteous mothers raise their children according to the law of Moses, even as Wisdom herself, which is the Holy Spirit, teaches her children according to the fruits of the law of the Father;
Susanna 1:1-3
There dwelt a man in Babylon, called Joacim: [2] And he took a wife, whose name was Susanna, the daughter of Chelcias, a very fair woman, and one that feared the Lord. [3] Her parents also were righteous, and taught their daughter according to the law of Moses.
One Mind with Your Husband
"The Holy Spirit"
-
The Mother of all creation, the Holy Spirit, known as Wisdom (Chekọmah), is the best example of a righteous woman for all.
Isaiah 57:15
For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit..
-
Her husband, the Holy Father, the Father of spirits, is who she dwells with in the high and holy place in the seventh heaven. He is of a contrite and humble spirit. Knowledge, wisdom, understanding, love, and the way (fruits) of good works are all of Him, as He is the source of all things from which she herself learns;
Ecclesiasticus 1:8
There is one wise and greatly to be feared, the Lord sitting upon his throne.
Ecclesiasticus 11:15
Wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the law, are of the Lord: love, and the way of good works, are from him.
-
The Holy Spirit, as a wise woman, asks Him her questions and pays attention to His ways to learn from Him so that she may find out knowledge and other profitable things from Him, especially to know what is acceptable in His sight and right in His commandments to walk in His ways herself and guide/aid Their children in creation, setting an example for women to learn from their husbands as she does for the benefit of the whole household;
Wisdom of Solomon 9:9
And Wisdom was with thee: which knoweth thy works, and was present when thou madest the world, and knew what was acceptable in thy sight, and right in thy commandments.
-
She knew through observation and learning to gain familiarity with the Father, being conversant with Him to gain understanding herself, so that she may be after His mind, as He is wise Himself;
Wisdom of Solomon 8:3-4
In that she is conversant with Alahayim, she magnifieth her nobility: yea, the Lord of all things himself loved her. 4 For she is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of Alahayim, and a lover of his works.
Wisdom of Solomon 7:26
For she is the brightness of the everlasting light, the unspotted mirror of the power of Alahayim, and the image of his goodness.
-
Understanding how she submits herself to learn from her husband, you can see the good fruit that has come from it by evidence of the good fruits that she embodies herself, mirroring Him, as she is after His mind to go in the ways He would have her. Some of His character and qualities that she mirrors are as follows;
Wisdom of Solomon 7:22-24
For Wisdom, which is the worker of all things, taught me: for in her is an understanding spirit, holy, one only, manifold, subtil, lively, clear, undefiled, plain, not subject to hurt, loving the thing that is good quick, which cannot be letted, ready to do good, 23 Kind to man, steadfast, sure, free from care, having all power, overseeing all things, and going through all understanding, pure, and most subtil spirits. 24 For Wisdom is more moving than any motion: she passeth and goeth through all things by reason of her pureness.
-
She learned and walks in all these good fruits and qualities of character from dwelling with her wise husband, being a keeper at home to tend to their household and aid Him in His work. She emulates Him so well because she is fond of Him as a lover of his works, rejoicing always before Him as she herself felt His ways are righteous and works holy;
Psalms 145:17
Ahayah is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.
-
This made it easy to put on His character since she viewed it as good herself, desiring to be after His mind to walk in His ways as well because she could see the profitability (or the good fruits) that comes from them;
Deuteronomy 32:4
He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a Ala of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
-
She saw He is consistent like a rock with no variableness of turning, meaning He is genuine and doesn't change from His upright and humble character to be just and right at all times; all of which made it easy for her to see the benefits of dwelling with Him to gain knowledge herself;
Proverbs 8:12, 14
I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. 14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
-
Remember, He is who she dwells with as He is prudent, and you can see how her humility to be conversant with Him for her learning has lead to her having counsel and sound wisdom to instruct her children to walk in His ways as well. She shows forth her sound wisdom by being subject to her husband in everything, being after His mind to hate the same things He hates, being one with Him in His love for righteousness;
Proverbs 8:13
The fear of Ahayah is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
-
This is the same way her Husband is to confirm she is after His mind, having the same mind and judgment as Him and speaking the same things; [1Co 1:10]
Ecclesiasticus 10:7
Pride is hateful before Alahayim..
Psalms 11:7
For the righteous Ahayah loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
Psalms 138:6
Though Ahayah be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
-
Following the qualities of the Holy Spirit, women in the earth also stand aloof from pride, arrogance, the evil way (lusts of the flesh), and a froward mouth, not turning to the right or left from the law in their works and speaking according to the light thereof, being an help unto their spouse by their well doing;
Sirach 36:24
He that getteh a wife beginneth a possession, a help like unto himself, and a pillar of rest.
Proverbs 8:22, 30
Ahayah possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. 30 Then I was by him,..and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
-
This confirms Wisdom is Ahayah's wife because when a man gets a wife, he begins a possession. For this reason she said He possessed her, as she is a help unto Him, operating like Him, being His delight and rejoicing herself to be with Him, as a wife cherishes her husband. Also, just as believing women build up their households in righteousness, (Pro 14:1; Ruth 4:11) Wisdom builds her household as well:
Pro 9:1
Wisdom hath builded her house..
-
In building her house, her authority is over their sons {Sirach 3:2} and she leads them in right paths just as believing women are exhorted to guide their house {1 Tim 5:14 } so that it may inherit substance;
Pro 8:3-4
She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors. 4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
-
She also sets a great example of how righteous women speak and the things they discourse of daily to educate and fill their children with words of life so that they may inherit substance of the spirit of Christ;
Pro 8:6-8, 20-21
Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things. 7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. 8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them. 20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: 21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
-
The Holy Spirit is also an Alahayim, so she has the power to influence creation, yet she does so with good intent, purely helping souls do good by performing the Father's will as His friends and servants in their lives;
Wisdom of Solomon 7:25
For She is the breath of the power of Alahayim, and a pure influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty: therefore can no defiled thing fall into her.
Wisdom of Solomon 8:7
And if a man love righteousness her labours are virtues: for she teacheth temperance and prudence, justice and fortitude: which are such things, as men can have nothing more profitable in their life.
-
You can see how she influences others purely for good in their lives. So ought the women who follow her example to be pure influences, helping others serve Alahayim;
Proverbs 31:26
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
For further edification on the influences a woman can have on others, please visit the lesson below:

-
Some of her other righteous characteristics are given in scripture as well for an example to sisters who are seeking how they themselves ought to be;
James 3:17-18
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
-
The Holy Spirit also exemplifies the sincere love that wives ought to have for their husbands, being fond of them;
Wisdom of Solomon 8:4
For she is...a lover of his works.
Proverbs 8:23, 27
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. 27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
-
(She is His helpmeet, being there for him, aiding Him in His works. The Holy Spirit doesn't rule over Ahayah, but rather, she rejoices with Him in all His works as she loves them herself.)
Proverbs 8:30
Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
-
She is cleaved unto Him as one flesh, being with Him in the creation. Their love is pure as she was in love with Him as a brother, and He with Her as a sister. This is why she said "as one brought up with him." Know for a surety that Ahayah rejoices in her as well, as she said she was daily His delight. In Their fondness for one another, they also have genuine benevolence for one another, as a husband and his wife ought to, being ravished in each other's love;
Proverbs 5:18-19
..rejoice with the wife of thy youth. 19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
-
Being ravished with one another in their due benevolence was how they ended up having their firstborn and only begotten Son, our Lord Yache, the salvation of all the generations of the world;
Ode of Solomon 19:1-5
1. A cup of milk was offered to me, and I drank it in the sweetness of the Lord's kindness. 2. The Son is the cup,
and the Father is he who was milked; and the Holy Spirit is she who milked him; 3. Because his breasts were full, and it was undesirable that his milk should be released without purpose. 4. The Holy Spirit opened her bosom, and mixed the milk of the two breasts of the Father. 5. Then she gave the mixture to the generation without their knowing, and those who have received (it) are in the perfection of the right hand.
-
Seeing their genuine love as an example, even Yache is deeply in love with the Church, purely like a sister, and ravished in her love as his wife. {Song of Solomon ch. 4-8}
Song of Solomon 4:9-10
Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck. 10 How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!
-
We know he does all things that he has seen his Father do. This means he loves the Church because he saw his Father's love for the Holy Spirit. {John 8:38; 14:9-10} Now the husbands of today, after having experienced the love of Christ in their growth process, will have seen the love of the Father through the love they have experienced and received of Yache the Lord, so they may know how to love their wives {John 14:6-7} as Yache Christ loved the Church. {Eph 5:25-29} A believing woman also rejoice in her husband like Wisdom does, being ravished with him as well;
Song of Solomon 1:13-15
A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts. 14 My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi. 15 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes.
Song of Solomon 2:3
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
-
They are also in subjection unto their him as the Church is unto Lord Yache her husband, as she learned from him guiding her in the manner and example of the obedience of the Mother of all creation, the Holy Spirit, unto the Holy Father.
Ephesians 5:24
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
The Virtuous Woman
-
The believing women, who in like manner as the Spirit, submit themselves to their husbands as Ahayah commanded in the law, truly exemplify the Holy Spirit's qualities of righteousness in their behavior and speech. The virtuous woman is a great example to follow for believing sisters, seeking to emulate the qualities of the Holy Spirit in this world;
Pro 31:10
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
Sir 26:15
A shamefaced and faithful woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued.
Sir 36:23
If there be kindness, meekness, and comfort, in her tongue, then is not her husband like other men.
Pro 31:10-12, 25-30
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. 12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. 25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. 26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. 27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. 28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. 29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. 30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth Ahayah, she shall be praised.
-
The mindset of a virtuous woman isn't confident in her favor and beauty of outward appearance for praise, but trusts in the fear (reverence) of Ahayah which will garner her praise after the inner woman as her good fruits from her heart of great price in the sight of Alahayim;
1 Peter 3:4
But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of Alahayim of great price.
-
She has this mindset of beautifying herself inwardly in the sight of Alahayim by operating in good fruits because she understands that true fellowship with the Beloved is attained through outward appearance;
Acts of Thomas 88
….Then he said to the woman Mygdonia: Rise up from the ground and compose yourself (take off thine ornaments and be mindful of yourself. For your clothes that you have on shall not profit you. Neither shall the beauty of your body, or your dress... shall benefit you, should you long for true fellowship: for the physical appearance of decoration means nothing, and the body grows old and changes, and raiment wears out... Yache is the only thing that will last forever as well as those that have their hope in Him.
-
For this reason, the virtuous woman works in practicing righteousness, gaining experience of how to operate in good fruits in patience with herself, so that she may have fellowship with Christ and recieve his mother, the Holy Spirit;
Romans 5:3-5
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of Alahayim is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us.
An Example of the Virtuous Woman
-
Ruth, the Moabitish woman, was a righteous woman and great example of a virtuous woman for sisters as well:
Rth 1:15-18
And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her alahayims: return thou after thy sister in law.16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy Alahayim my Alahayim: 17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: Ahayah do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me. 18 When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.
-
She would not turn her back on the Alahayim of Israel, the Alahayim of alahayims, to follow after another;
Rth 2:11-13
And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore. 12 Ahayah recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of Ahayah Alahayim of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust. 13 Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.
Rth 3:9
And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.
-
She asked him to marry her. A woman becomes a man's flesh and is brought under his skirt (being considered his nakedness) [Lev 8:16] once she is his wife. This is why she asked him to spread his skirt over her. She did uprightly in seeking to be married according to the law of Alahayim;
Rth 3:10-11
And he said, Blessed be thou of Ahayah, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich. 11 And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.
-
(She is an example of a virtuous woman of Proverbs 31. Her virtue can be seen from how she honored her mother and dealt in obedience and humility towards Ahayah and all people she interacted with.)
Rth 4:10-11
Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day. 11 And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. Ahayah make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:
-
The wife, whether one or multiple, is the builder of the home, having authority over the sons, to train them up in the admonitions of their father, even as Leah and Rachel did unto the house of Israel.
Rth 4:12
And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which Ahayah shall give thee of this young woman.
-
Ruth is the fore parent of king David, Solomon, Hezekiah, Josiah and Yache the Lord according to the flesh.
Exhortations for the Righteous
-
You have exhortation unto the women to hearken to words of truth to work all righteousness in love through being understanding and long-suffering;
Testament of Gad 3:1
And now, my children, hearken to the words of truth to work righteousness, and all the law of the Most High, and go not astray through the spirit of hatred, for it is evil in all the doings of men.
Hermas Mandate 5
1[33]:1 "Be thou long-suffering and understanding," he saith, "and thou shalt have the mastery over all evil deeds, and shalt work all righteousness.
-
Whether your husbands are in the faith or not, you also have Peter's exhortation to behave reverently in a chaste manner of living like Sarah. Remember He also gave that key exhortation on what women must really be on guard against so they don't stumble in the faith.
1 Peter 3:1-6
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. 3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of Alahayim of great price. 5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in Alahayim, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: 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

Women have an example of righteousness in Sarah through her reverence for her husband by calling him lord. Women are also exhorted not to make the mistake that Sarah made, which sadly lead to her death. This is the reason the scripture said "and are not afraid with any amazement." This is an exhortation for women walk in moderation and temperance to stay out of bad emotions, fears and personal desires or thoughts, because that is the mistake Sarah made, being deceived by Satan in Jasher 23, which sadly caused her death. Women are exhorted to be of a sound mind and not fear, {II Tim 1:7} neither be emotional, but having self-control in moderation {Php 4:5} and continuing in faith, charity, and holiness with sobriety {I Tim 2:15} since these things will save them and garner praise as it did for the Hebrew woman in the days of Maccabees. Also, women should take heed against Satan and hearken not to him in anything as Sarah {Jasher 23:86-86, I Pet 3:6} and Eve, {II Cor 11:3, Gen 3:5-6;Apoc of Mos ch.18-19} both of whom in their growing experiences (and for our admonitions) had instances of falling from the simplicity of Christ, which is to submit unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord, { Eph 5:22} being content with them in body and spirit as well as the will of Alahayim and His portion for you, being in subjection to your husbands in everything as the Church is to Christ {Eph 5:24} as these things will keep you under the protection of Lord Yache, the head of the man, whose care Alahayim placed you under. The Church herself is the example of how cleaving unto your husband will bring salvation seeing as though She herself is subject onto her Lord and head, Yache, because he's the savior of her body. [Eph 5:22-23]

Lastly but not least, we have exhortations from the disciples of how righteous women of the Church ought to operate in their lives and raise their children;
Ignatius to Polycarp 5:1
.. Tell my sisters to love the Lord and to be content with their husbands in flesh and in spirit.
1 Clem. 1:3
..the women ye charged to perform all their duties in a blameless and seemly and pure conscience, cherishing their own husbands, as is meet; and ye taught them to keep in the rule of obedience, and to manage the affairs of their household in seemliness, with all discretion.
1 Clem. 21:6-8
..Let us guide our women toward that which is good: 7 let them show forth their lovely disposition of purity; let them prove their sincere affection of gentleness; let them make manifest the moderation of their tongue through their silence; let them show their love, not in factious preferences but without partiality towards all them that fear Alahayim, in holiness. Let our children be partakers of the instruction which is in Christ: 8 let them learn how lowliness of mind prevaileth with Alahayim, what power chaste love hath with Alahayim, how the fear of Him is good and great and saveth all them that walk therein in a pure mind with holiness.

There have been some powerful women in the spirit that have fought valiantly for the righteousness of Alahayim through faith in Lord Yache, keeping the law and bearing the fruits of the Spirit. May you be encouraged through their examples to know and believe you can to if you set your mind to it with all purpose of soul to acheive it in humility;
Mark 9:23
Yache said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Testament of Naphtali 2:6, 9
As a man’s strength, so also is his work; and as his mind, so also is his skill; and as his purpose, so also is his achievement; and as his heart, so also is his mouth; as his eye, so also is his sleep; as his soul, so also is his word, either in the law of the Lord or in the works of Beliar. 9 So then, my children, let all your works be done in order with good intent in the fear of Alahayim, and do nothing disorderly in scorn or out of its due season.
1 Clem. 55:3-4
Many women being strengthened through the grace of Alahayim have performed many manly deeds. 4 The blessed Judith, when the city was beleaguered, asked of the elders that she might be suffered to go forth into the camp of the aliens.
-
Notice her subjection to the elders who were over the people that all things may be done in decency and in order {I Cor 14:40} since she was a widow. As a widow, she was under the dominion of the Elders of the people. {I Tim 5:3-10} She understood it was unrighteous to usurp authority over a man. {I Tim 2:12} So, in the fruits of the Spirit and sound speech that could not be condemned, {Tit 2:8} she obtained consent to deliver her people, doing all things in humility for a good example to sisters;
1 Clem. 55:5-6
So she exposed herself to peril and went forth for love of her country and of her people which were beleaguered; and the Lord delivered Holophernes into the hand of a woman. 6 To no less peril did Esther also, who was perfect in faith, expose herself, that she might deliver the twelve tribes of Israel, when they were on the point to perish. For through her fasting and her humiliation she entreated the all seeing Master, the Alahayim of the ages; and He, seeing the humility of her soul, delivered the people for whose sake she encountered the peril.
-
When one reads Additions of Esher 14, one can see the true humility she had in the fact that, though she was queen, she cared nothing of her estate and would not partake in any idolatry for conscience's sake toward Alahayim.
Additions to Esther 14:15-18
Thou knowest all things, o Lord; thou knowest that I hate the glory of the unrighteous, and abhor the bed of the uncircumcised, and of all the heathen. [16] Thou knowest my necessity: for I abhor the sign of my high estate, which is upon mine head in the days wherein I shew myself, and that I abhor it as a menstruous rag, and that I wear it not when I am private by myself. [17] And that thine handmaid hath not eaten at Aman's table, and that I have not greatly esteemed the king's feast, nor drunk of the wine of the drink offerings. [18] Neither had thine handmaid any joy since the day that I was brought hither to this present, but in thee, O Lord Alahayim of Abraham.

We hope Ahayah and Yache our Lord be pleased to endow their daughters of the Church to be as the examples of the Righteous women so that they may receive the Holy Spirit, the Mother of all creation.
