1Peter:3:1-7

*
You wives ,
in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that ,
if any of them do not believe the word ,
they may be won over without a word by the behavior of their wives ,
*
when they see your chaste and respectful behavior .
*
Your adornment must not be merely outward
braiding the hair ,
and wearing gold jewelry ,
or putting on fine clothing ;
*
but let it be the hidden person of the heart ,
with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit ,
which is precious in God '
s sight .
*
For in this way in former times the holy women also ,
who hoped in God ,
used to adorn themselves ,
and were submissive to their own husbands ;
*
just as Sarah obeyed Abraham ,
calling him lord .
And you are her children if you do what is right and are not frightened by any fear .
*
Husbands ,
in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives ,
and treat them with honor as the weaker partner ,
since you are joint heirs of the grace of life ,
so that your prayers will not be hindered .
