Vietnam Evangelical Covenant Church – Just like men, there have been many godly women throughout history. Sometimes their words and deeds were not recorded, but today we can access the wise words of many strong Christian women. Everyone can benefit from what they say about God, the Creator of us all.
Scripture praises the woman who fears the LORD (Proverbs 31:30). Throughout church history, many godly women have left words and lives that inspire later generations. Here are 15 quotes by godly women, some quoted directly and others summarized from the original sayings. Scripture quotations are from the Berean Standard Bible (BSB).
