1 Peter 3:1-7

1Likewise, wives, [be] subject to your own husbands, that, even if any are disobedient to the word, they may be gained without [the] word by the conversation of the wives,

2having witnessed your pure conversation [carried out] in fear;

3whose adorning let it not be that outward one of tressing of hair, and wearing gold, or putting on apparel;

4but the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible [ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of 1God is of great price.

5For thus also the holy women who have hoped in 2God heretofore adorned themselves, being subject to their own husbands;

6as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose children ye have become, doing good, and not fearing with any kind of consternation.

7[Ye] husbands likewise, dwell with [them] according to knowledge, as with a weaker, [even] the female, vessel, giving [them] honour, as also fellow-heirs of [the] grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.
