Controlling Mothers

Matthew 19:12

• Asceticism

For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Psalms 27:10

When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

1 Timothy 3:11

• Sobriety

Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.

1 Timothy 5:14

I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
