Wives and Husbands

aIn the same way, you wives, bbe subject to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be cwon without a word by the conduct of their wives, 2 as they observe your pure conduct with fear. 3 aYour adornment must not be merely external—braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on garments; 4 but let it be athe hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible quality of a lowly and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. 5 For in this way in former times the holy women also, awho hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being subject to their own husbands, 6 just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, acalling him lord. You have become her children if you do good, 1bnot fearing any intimidation.
7 aYou husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with a weaker bvessel, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
