1 In like manner, ye wives, be subject to your own husbands, that if any obey not the word, they also may, without the word, be won by the conversation of the wives,

2 Beholding your chaste conversation joined with fear:

3 Whose adorning let it not be the outward adorning of curling the hair, and of wearing gold, or of putting on apparel, But the hidden man of the heart,

4 in the incorruptible ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price.

5 For thus the holy women also of old time who trusted in God, adorned themselves,

6 being subject to their own husbands, As Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children ye are while ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
