What does the Bible say about girls education?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible commends women and girls as recipients and bearers of wisdom, calling them to learn God’s truth and use their gifts faithfully for his glory. Proverbs 1:20-21 portrays wisdom publicly calling all people to hear and receive instruction, without excluding girls. In Luke 10:38-42, Jesus welcomes Mary to sit at his feet as a disciple, affirming that attentive learning from him is the better portion. First Chronicles 7:24 remembers Sheerah as a woman who built and established cities, honoring meaningful service and leadership. Christian education should therefore nurture girls in Scripture, wisdom, skill, and godly character, trusting that Christ equips every believer for faithful love and service.
