1Likewise, wives, subjecting yourselves to your own husbands, so that even if some disobey the word, they may be gained through the wives' behavior without a word.2having observed your pure behavior in fear.3Of which let the outward adornment not be the braiding of hair and wearing of gold or wearing of clothing.4But let it be the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible gentle and quiet spirit, which is valuable before God.5For thus once the holy women who were hoping toward God were adorning themselves, subjecting themselves to their own husbands.6As Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, of whom you have become children by doing good and not fearing any fear.7Husbands likewise, living with them according to knowledge, rendering honor to the wife as to the weaker vessel and as to co-heirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be impeded.
