To whom is a godly woman given?

• A. To him that fears many gods.
• B. To someone who is famous.
• C. To him that feareth the Lord.
• D. To the elders of the city.

Answer: (C)

A godly woman is given to him that feareth the Lord. In biblical wisdom, the strength of a marriage rests on a man’s reverence for God and his commitment to living by His ways. When a man truly fears the Lord—showing obedience, humility, and faith—the home is primed for spiritual partnership. A godly woman is viewed as a gift to such a man because their shared devotion forms the foundation for a faithful, virtuous household. The other options miss this spiritual alignment: fearing many gods points to idolatry, fame has no bearing on a marriage’s godliness, and the elders of the city refer to civil leadership, not the basis for receiving a wife.
