1 Peter 3:1-7
11In the sameG3668 wayG3668, you wivesG1135, 2be submissiveG5293 to your ownG2398 husbandsG435 soG2443 that evenG2532 ifG1487 anyG5100 of them are disobedientG544 to the wordG3056, they may be 3wonG2770 withoutG427 a wordG3056 by the behaviorG391 of their wivesG1135, 2as they observeG2029 your chasteG53 and 4respectfulG5401 behaviorG391. 35Your adornmentG2889 must not be merely externalG1855--braidingG1708 the hairG2359, and wearingG4025 goldG5553 jewelryG5553, orG2228 puttingG1745 on dressesG2440; 4but let it be 6the hiddenG2927 personG444 of the heartG2588, with the imperishableG862 qualityG862 of a gentleG4239 and quietG2272 spiritG4151, whichG3739 is preciousG4185 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316. 5For in thisG3779 wayG3779 in formerG4218 timesG4218 the holyG40 womenG1135 alsoG2532, 7who hopedG1679 in GodG2316, used to adornG2885 themselvesG1438, being submissiveG5293 to their ownG2398 husbandsG435; 6justG5613 as SarahG4564 obeyedG5219 AbrahamG11, 8callingG2564 him lordG2962, and you have becomeG1096 her childrenG5043 if you doG15 what is rightG15 910withoutG2532G3361 being frightenedG5399 by anyG3367 fearG4423.
711You husbandsG435 in the sameG3668 wayG3668, liveG4924 with your wives in an understandingG1108 wayG1108, as with 1213someoneG4632 weakerG772, since she is a womanG1134; and showG632 her honorG5092 as a fellowG4789 heirG4789 of the graceG5485 of lifeG2222, soG1519 that your prayersG4335 will not be hinderedG1465.
