In this article, I will highlight 17 Bible Verses about value of a woman that will help you know how important women are to society and also point out some biblical women who impacted the Bible.

Bible Verses About The Value Of A Woman
These 17 Bible verses will carefully outline the value and worth of a woman different from what we might have been thinking and how to acquire these values.
Proverbs 18:22 – A wife is a favorable thing
He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.
Proverbs 18:22 (ESV)
This verse tells us how vital and relevant a woman is to man and the world at large and how God is so interested in a man finding a wife.
We are to place much value on women for the position of being a helper to the man. According to Genesis 2:18, “The LORD God said, “It is not suitable for the man to be alone, and I will make a helper suitable for him blessing that is attached when a man finds a woman.
Proverbs 31:10 – An excellent wife is expendable
An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.
Proverbs 31:10(ESV)

Proverbs 31:25 – A woman is strength.
She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
Proverbs 31:25(NIV)
Before help is rendered, there’s an amount of strength on the inside.
Women aren’t meant to be underrated; when God created man and saw it wasn’t good for man to be alone, He created the woman (eve) to be a helper to him, to be his consoler in times of trials.
1 Peter 3:3-4 – A woman must be beautiful inside-out
“Do not let your adorning be external — the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear — but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious.”
1 Peter 3:3-4(ESV)
Here Peter instructed and warned women, especially wives, that in other for their value to be evaluated, they are not meant to use artificial things to make themselves beautiful.
Via these verses, we are to understand that the value of women isn’t seen in the unnatural look but in what is deposited in her(her inside). And this is a beauty that won’t fade with age.
Genesis 3:20 – A woman is the mother of all living things
The man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
Genesis 3:20 (ESV)
In this passage, this is where we also see the importance and the need to value a woman. Adam gives a simple illustration of why he named his wife eve.
Being a mother of all living things shows that it is not until this moment that the woman created from Adam’s rib receives her name.
Why Scripture chooses this particular moment to mention her name is not entirely clear, but this tells us that out of eve birth out living things.
Proverbs 19:14 – A woman must be prudent
House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
Proverbs 19:14 (ESV)

This verse is directed to married women who have been faithful and friendly to their husbands; this is an encouraging verse that you shouldn’t at any time listen to side talks that will bring doubt to your husband.
Instead, you should focus on still being that excellent woman who is more precious than gold to your husband.
Women should understand that trust is hard to find; to maintain that valuable lifestyle and trust from their husbands, they must not compromise their work for others.
Proverbs 3:15 – A woman of value is incomparable
She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.
Proverbs 3:15(ESV)
Nothing in this world can be compared or equal to what a woman has to offer; we are so relevant that Adam called them a source of living.
This can be general; women seen as the source of living are embedded with the fear of God, which makes them abstain from several worldly activities. So as women who want to be valued, we must make ourselves worthy of it by focusing on God.
