* Likewise you wives , be submissive to your husbands , so that some , though they do not obey the word , may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives , * when they see your reverent and chaste behavior . * Let not yours be the outward adorning with braiding of hair , decoration of gold , and wearing of fine clothing , * but let it be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable jewel of a gentle and quiet spirit , which in God 's sight is very precious . * So once the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves and were submissive to their husbands , * as Sarah obeyed Abraham , calling him lord . And you are now her children if you do right and let nothing terrify you . * Likewise you husbands , live considerately with your wives , bestowing honor on the woman as the weaker sex , since you are joint heirs of the grace of life , in order that your prayers may not be hindered .
