1 Peter 3:1-7

11In the same way, you wives, 2be subject to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be 3won over without a word by the behavior of their wives, 2as they observe your pure 4and respectful behavior. 35Your adornment must not be merely the external--braiding the hair, wearing gold jewelry, or putting on apparel; 4but it should be 6the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. 5For in this way the holy women of former times, 7who hoped in God, also used to adorn themselves, being subject to their own husbands, 6just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, 8calling him lord; and you have proved to be her children if you do what is right 910without being frightened by any fear.

711You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with 1213someone 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.
