1 Peter 3:1-7

Living_Oracles(i) 1 In like manner, let the wives be in subjection to their own husbands; that, indeed, if any obey not the word, they, without the word, may be won by the behavior of their wives, 2 (when they behold you chaste behavior, joined with reverence:) 3 whose adorning, let it not be that which is external-the plaiting of hair, trinkets of gold, or finery of dress; 4 but-the hidden man of the heart, with the incorruptible ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which, in the sight of God, is of great value. 5 For thus, anciently, the holy women, also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands; 6 even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord; whose daughters you are become, doing well, and not fearing any terror. 7 In like manner, husbands, dwell with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the wife, as the weaker vessel, and as joint heirs of the favor of life, that your prayers be not hindered.
