Godly women of the Bible:

New Testament Named Godly Women (23-24)

These are women in the KJB NT who demonstrated faith, served God, or supported Jesus’ or Paul’s ministries:

1. Mary (mother of Jesus) – Matthew 1:16, Luke 1:26-56, Acts 1:14
2. Elizabeth – Luke 1:5-60
3. Anna – Luke 2:36-38
4. Mary Magdalene – Matthew 27:56, Luke 8:2, John 20:1-18
5. Joanna – Luke 8:3, 24:10
6. Susanna – Luke 8:3
7. Mary (mother of James and Joses) – Matthew 27:56, Mark 15:40
8. Salome – Mark 15:40, 16:1
9. Mary (wife of Cleophas) – John 19:25
10. Martha – Luke 10:38-42, John 11:1-44
11. Mary (of Bethany) – Luke 10:39, John 12:3
12. Tabitha (Dorcas) – Acts 9:36-42
13. Lydia – Acts 16:14-15, 40
14. Damaris – Acts 17:34
15. Phoebe – Romans 16:1-2
16. Priscilla – Romans 16:3-4, Acts 18:2-26
17. Junia – Romans 16:7
18. Mary (Romans 16:6) – Romans 16:6
19. Tryphena – Romans 16:12
20. Tryphosa – Romans 16:12
21. Persis – Romans 16:12
22. Euodia – Philippians 4:2-3
23. Syntyche – Philippians 4:2-3
24. Lois – 2 Timothy 1:5
25. Eunice – 2 Timothy 1:5

NT Count: 24 if Tryphena and Tryphosa are counted as separate individuals; 23 if they are considered one entry (due to their joint mention in Romans 16:12). For this list, I’ve listed them separately (24 total) to be thorough.

Old Testament Named Godly Women (13-14)

These are prominent named women in the KJB OT who were faithful to God or instrumental in His plan. I’ve included the core 10 plus secondary figures to reach the higher end of the estimate:

1. Sarah – Genesis 17:15-21
2. Rebekah – Genesis 24
3. Rachel – Genesis 29-30
4. Leah – Genesis 29-30
5. Miriam – Exodus 15:20-21
6. Deborah – Judges 4-5
7. Ruth – Ruth 1-4
8. Hannah – 1 Samuel 1-2
9. Abigail – 1 Samuel 25
10. Esther – Esther 2-9
11. Huldah – 2 Kings 22:14-20
12. Rahab – Joshua 2
13. Jael – Judges 4:17-22
14. Jehosheba – 2 Kings 11:2

OT Count: 13 core women, with Jehosheba included as a secondary figure (she preserved the Davidic line by hiding Joash). Including one more secondary figure like the Shunammite woman (2 Kings 4, unnamed in KJB) could push it to 14, but since you requested named women, I’ll cap at 14.

Total Count

• NT: 24 named women (including Tryphena and Tryphosa separately).
• OT: 14 named women.
• Total: 24 + 14 = 38 named godly women.

Clarifications

• The range of 36-38 accounts for:
  • 36: If Tryphena and Tryphosa are one entry (NT = 23) and OT is limited to 13 (excluding Jehosheba).
  • 37: If Tryphena and Tryphosa are one entry (NT = 23) and OT includes 14.
  • 38: If Tryphena and Tryphosa are separate (NT = 24) and OT includes 14.
• I’ve listed 38 names to cover the maximum, as this is the most comprehensive interpretation.
• Unnamed women (e.g., the Samaritan woman, widow of Zarephath) are excluded since you requested “names or no names.”
• If you meant “no names” as an alternative (i.e., a count without listing), let me know, and I can revise to just the number.

The total number of named godly women in the King James Bible is 38, listed as:

• NT (24): Mary (mother of Jesus), Elizabeth, Anna, Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna, Mary (mother of James and Joses), Salome, Mary (wife of Cleophas), Martha, Mary (of Bethany), Tabitha (Dorcas), Lydia, Damaris, Phoebe, Priscilla, Junia, Mary (Romans 16:6), Tryphena, Tryphosa, Persis, Euodia, Syntyche, Lois, Eunice.
• OT (14): Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, Leah, Miriam, Deborah, Ruth, Hannah, Abigail, Esther, Huldah, Rahab, Jael, Jehosheba.

Ungodly Women of the Bible:

The KJB lists 13 individual women (8 named, 5 unnamed) and 2 group classifications (strange women, foolish woman) as ungodly or wicked, totaling 15 entries:

• Named (8): Eve, Potiphar’s Wife, Delilah, Jezebel, Athaliah, Maachah, Herodias, Salome.
• Unnamed (5): Lot’s Wife, Woman of Samaria (2 Kings), Harlot in Proverbs, Woman of Samaria (John), Woman Caught in Adultery.
• Group Classifications (2): Strange Women (Proverbs, 1 Kings), Foolish Woman (Proverbs).
