Submission to Husbands
1 Wives, likewise, be asubmissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, bthey, without a word, may cbe won by the conduct of their wives,
2 awhen they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear.
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.

What Does 1 Peter 3:3 Mean?
1 Peter 3:3-4
The Holy Spirit enables us to produce meekness, a necessary attitude for understanding God's Word. An added benefit to the meek is that God promises them the enjoyment of peace. A meek and quiet spirit is so very precious to God that he calls it an imperishable ornament, and He rewards the meek with inheritance of the earth.
