1Peter:3:1-7
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Likewise ,
ye wives ,
be in subjection to your own husbands ;
that ,
if any obey not the word ,
they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives ;
*
While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear .
*
Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair ,
and of wearing of gold ,
or of putting on of apparel ;
*
But let it be the hidden man of the heart ,
in that which is not corruptible ,
even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit ,
which is in the sight of God of great price .
*
For after this manner in the old time the holy women also ,
who trusted in God ,
adorned themselves ,
being in subjection unto their own husbands :
*
Even as Sara obeyed Abraham ,
calling him lord :
whose daughters ye are ,
as long as ye do well ,
and are not afraid with any amazement .
*
Likewise ,
ye husbands ,
dwell with them according to knowledge ,
giving honour unto the wife ,
as unto the weaker vessel ,
and as being heirs together of the grace of life ;
that your prayers be not hindered .
