Evil Women And Bad Wives

Bible verses about evil women

Scripture lets us know to stay away from evil women.

They are greedy, rebellious, unsubmissive, wicked, adulterous, gossiping, slandering, and sexually immoral women.

Bad wives and evil women in the Bible have done great damage such as lead Solomon astray, betray Samson, and order the killing of John the Baptist. Evil women will cause Christian men to compromise and sin.

They are on the wrong path and will bring you down with them. Beware!

In every nice-sized church there are worldly women put there by Satan to trap godly men.

They might profess to know Christ, but watch out.

It doesn’t matter how beautiful she is. It doesn’t matter if you think it’s love.

If a woman is persuading you to sin or is giving signs that she will not be a submissive wife, end the relationship.

It is best for a Christian man to find a true Christian woman.

Proverbs 31:12 “She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.”

Proverbs 31:12 (KJV 1900)

12 She will do him good and not evil All the days of her life.

 What fellowship can light have with darkness?

The evil woman is going down the wrong path seeking men to bring down. 1. or she cares nothing about the path to life.

She staggers down a crooked trail and doesn’t realize it. 

So now, my sons, listen to me.

Never stray from what I am about to say: Stay away from her!

Don’t go near the door of her house!”

Do not let your heart turn to her ways or stray into her paths.

 Many are the victims she has brought down; her slain are a mighty throng.”
