Her Price

 

 who is a wife? Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies (proverbs 31:10), other versions used this an excellent woman, a woman of noble character, a woman of worth, a virtuous and capable wife, a worthy woman, a valiant woman, a woman of valour, a wife of strong character and a diligent woman. The ASV, "a worthy woman who can find for her price is far above rubies". we don't become worthy overnight, being worthy means we have done something different from others, that classes our worth above all.

Who is a wife?

Who is a wife? Looking at this scripture carefully, He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord (Proverbs18:22 NIV). From the above scripture, God didn't say he who finds a woman to marry finds a good thing, rather he said he that finds a wife. The wisdom in this verse, clearly distinguish a woman from a wife. it takes natural birth to be a female, physical development to be a woman, but it takes maturity to be a wife, which comes as a result of real spiritual, mental and moral development.
