1 Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some
do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives,
2 when they see your respectful and pure conduct.
3 Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the
putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear—
4 but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the
imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.
5 For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves,
by submitting to their own husbands,
6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you
do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.
7 Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way,
showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs
with you[a] of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
