1Peter:3:1-7
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In like manner ,
ye wives ,
be in subjection to your own husbands ,
that even if any obey not the word ,
they may without the word be won by the behavior of the wives ,
*
when they behold your chaste behavior coupled with fear .
*
Whose adorning ,
let it not be the out yard adorning of braiding the hair ,
and of wearing golden ornaments ,
or of putting on apparel ;
*
but the hidden man of the heart ,
in that which is imperishable ,
even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit ,
which is in the sight of God of great price .
*
For in this manner in the old time the holy women also ,
who hoped in God ,
adorned themselves ,
being in subjection to their own husbands ;
*
as Sarah obeyed Abraham ,
calling him lord ;
whose daughters ye have become ,
if ye do well ,
and fear no alarm .
*
Dwell likewise ,
O husband ,
with thy wife according to knowledge ,
as with the weaker vessel ,
giving her honor as being heir with thee of the grace of life ,
that your prayers be not hindered .
