1 In like manner, you wives, be in subjection to your own husbands. Even if your husband does not obey Gods word, he may be won without a word by observing the way you live.
2 Your husband could see your chaste behavior coupled with respect reverence.
3 Your appearance should not come from the outward adornment, things like braiding the hair, and wearing jewels of gold, or wearing fine apparel.
4 Let your appearance be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible apparel of a meek and quiet spirit. This is of great value in the sight of God.
5 The holy women of old, who hoped in God, adorned themselves this way, being submissive to their own husbands.
6 Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. You are her children now, if you do what is right and are not fearful.
