1 Peter 3:1-7

1Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the behaviour of the wives; 2While they behold your chaste behaviour coupled with fear. 3Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of arranging the hair, and of wearing gold, or of putting on apparel; 4But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 5For after this manner in former times the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands: 6Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any terror.1 7Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
