- like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
- Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
- Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.
- Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
- For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.

- just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.
- You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
- To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit;
- not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.
- For, "THE ONE WHO DESIRES LIFE, TO LOVE AND SEE GOOD DAYS, MUST KEEP HIS TONGUE FROM EVIL AND HIS LIPS FROM SPEAKING DECEIT.
