* In the same way you wives must be submissive to your own husbands ; so that if some of them will not believe the message , they may apart from the message be won over by the behavior of their wives , * when they see how pure and reverent you are . * Your adornment ought not to be the outward adornment of plaited hair and golden jewels and the wearing of beautiful dresses ; * but rather that hidden personality of the heart , the imperishable ornament of a quiet and gentle spirit , which in the sight of God is indeed precious . * For in this way in the olden time the holy women also , who put their trust in God , used to adorn themselves . They were ever in submission to their own husbands ; * thus , for example , Sarah obeyed Abraham , calling him lord . And you are daughters of Sarah , if you do what is right , and permit nothing to make you afraid . * In the same way you husbands live with your wives , according to knowledge , honoring your wife as of the weaker sex , yet as an heir with yourself of the grace of life ; so that your prayers may not be hindered .
