Rotherham(i)
1 In like manner, ye wives,––submitting yourselves unto your own husbands; in order that, if any are not yielding unto the word, through their wives behaviour, they may, without the word, be won,
2 Having been permitted to behold your reverently chaste behaviour,––
3 Whose adorning, let it be––not the outward, of plaiting the hair and wearing golden ornaments, or putting on of apparel,
4 But the hidden character, of the heart,––in the incorruptible [ornament] of the quiet, and meek, spirit, which is, in presence of God, of great price.
5 For, so, at one time, the holy women also, who directed their hope towards God, used to adorn themselves, being in submission unto their own husbands:
6 As, Sarah, was obedient unto Abraham, calling him, lord,––whose children ye have become––so long as ye are doing good, and not bringing yourselves into fear of any single cause of alarm.
7 Ye husbands, in like manner, dwelling with them according to knowledge,––as unto a weaker vessel, unto the female [vessel], assigning honour, as joint––inheritors also of life’s favour,––to the end that unhindered may be, your prayers.
