1 Peter 3:1-6 ▼

1 Likewise, ye wives, be submissive to your own husbands; in order that, if any do not believe the word, they shall be gained through the deportment of their wives, without the word;

2 beholding your chaste deportment which is with reverence:

3 whose beauty, let it not be the external beauty of braiding the hairs, and wearing golds, or putting on of outer garments;

4 but let their beauty be the hidden man of the heart, in the purity of the meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is perfection complete.

5 For in this way in olden times the holy wives, the ones having hope toward God, were indeed accustomed to beautify themselves, submissive to their own husbands:

6 as Sarah submitted to Abraham, calling him Lord: whose children you have become, doing good, and not fearing any calamity.
