1 You wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without a word by the behavior of their wives,
2 when they see your chaste and respectful behavior.
3 Your adornment must not be merely outwardbraiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on fine clothing;
4 but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God's sight.
5 For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, and were submissive to their own husbands;
6 just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children if you do what is right and are not frightened by any fear.
