- In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives,
- as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior.
- Your adornment must not be merely external--braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses;
- but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.
- For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands;
|
- 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.
