1 In the same way, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some are disobedient to the word, they may be won over without a word by the conduct of their wives,
2 when they see your respectful, pure conduct.
3 Let your adornment not be the external kind, braiding hair and putting on gold jewelry or putting on fine clothing,
4 but the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is highly valuable in the sight of God.
5 For in the same way formerly the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves by being subject to their own husbands,
6 like Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you have become when you do good and are not frightened with respect to any terror.
