    1Wives and Husbands In the same way, wives, be subject to your own husbands. Then, even if some are disobedient to the word, they will be won over without a word by the way you live,

    2when they see your pure and reverent conduct.

    3Let your beauty not be external– the braiding of hair and wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes–

    4but the inner person of the heart, the lasting beauty of a gentle and tranquil spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.

    5For in the same way the holy women who hoped in God long ago adorned themselves by being subject to their husbands,

    6like Sarah who obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. You become her children when you do what is good and have no fear in doing so.

    7Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as the weaker partners and show them honor as fellow heirs of the grace of life. In this way nothing will hinder your prayers.
