Compare all
3 aDo not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel—  
4 rather let it be athe hidden person of the heart, with the1 incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.  
5 For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands,
6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, acalling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.  

A Word to Husbands

7 aHusbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, bas to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, cthat your prayers may not be hindered.

9 anot returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary bblessing, knowing that you were called to this, cthat you may inherit a blessing.
