In Genesis 3:16, the fall introduces husband's rule over wife—Paul's mutual authority here reverses that curse by giving both equal power.

In Matthew 19:5, Jesus cites the 'one flesh' union—the creation basis for Paul's teaching that spouses have authority over each other's bodies.

In Matthew 19:9, Jesus restricts divorce, implying the permanence of the marital bond that underlies Paul's mutual authority teaching.

In Mark 10:11, Jesus declares divorce and remarriage as adultery—reinforcing the lifelong commitment behind Paul's mutual body ownership.

In Mark 10:12, Jesus applies the same adultery principle to wives—aligned with Paul's statement that a wife has authority over her husband's body.

In Numbers 30:8, the husband can annul his wife's vows—contrasting with Paul's mutual authority where neither has unilateral control.
