1 Wives, respect and obey your husbands in the same way. Then the husbands who do not obey the word of God will want to know God. They will want to know God because their wives live good lives, even though they say nothing about God.
2 They will see that you live holy lives and respect your husbands.
3 You should not be fine on the outside only. Some women make their hair nice. They wear gold things. They have fine clothes.
4 But you must be fine in your heart. Have a heart that is gentle and quiet. That will not wear out. And God thinks it is worth very much.
5 There were holy women long ago who trusted in God. They made themselves nice in this way. They obeyed their husbands.
6 Sarah obeyed Abraham. She called him her master. You are her children if you do what is right and are not afraid of trouble.
