1 Peter 3:1-7 In the same way, you wives must be submissive to your husbands, so that even those who will not believe the Word may be won over without a word by the behaviour of their wives,

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In the same way, you wives must be submissive to your husbands, so that even those who will not believe the Word may be won over without a word by the behaviour of their wives, ² when they see how chaste and reverent you are. ³ You are not to adorn yourselves on the outside with braids of hair and ornaments of gold and changes of dress, ⁴ but inside, in the heart, with the immortal beauty of a gentle and modest spirit, which in the sight of God is of rare value. ⁵ It was in this way long ago that the holy women who hoped in God adorned themselves. They were submissive to their husbands. ⁶ Thus Sara obeyed Abraham by calling him 'lord'. And you are daughters of Sara if you do what is right and yield to no panic. ⁷ In the same way you husbands must be considerate in living with your wives, since they are the weaker sex; you must honour them as heirs equally with yourselves of the grace of Life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
