    1In the same way, wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, so that even if some disobey the word, they may be won over without a word by the conduct of their wives.

    2When they observe your pure and reverent behavior.

    3Let your beauty not be external—such as elaborate hairstyles, the wearing of gold jewelry, or fine clothes.

    4Instead, it should be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.

    5For in this way, in the past, the holy women who hoped in God also adorned themselves, submitting to their own husbands.

    6Just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. You are her children if you do what is good and do not fear anything that frightens you.

    7Husbands, in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with a weaker vessel, showing them honor as co-heirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
