*
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 .
