1 Peter 3:3-6

3Wives must not let their beauty be something external. Beauty doesn’t come from hairstyles, gold jewelry, or clothes.

4Rather, beauty is something internal that can’t be destroyed. Beauty expresses itself in a gentle and quiet attitude which God considers precious.

5After all, this is how holy women who had confidence in God expressed their beauty in the past. They placed themselves under their husbands’ authority

6as Sarah did. Sarah obeyed Abraham and spoke to him respectfully. You became Sarah’s daughters by not letting anything make you afraid to do good.
