New American Standard Bible 1995

1 Peter 3:5-7

5For in this way in former times the holy women also, 1who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands; 6just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, 2calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right 3 4without being frightened by any fear.

7 5You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with 6 7someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
