“WIVES, (IN the same way) be submissive to your husbands so
that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without
words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of
your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided
hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be
that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit,
which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of
the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were
submissive to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him
her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way
to fear. (1 Peter 3:1-6) (The Holy Bible, New International Version Copyright ©
