1 In like manner, ye wives,submitting yourselves unto your own husbands; in order that, if any are not yielding unto the word, through their wives behaviour, they may, without the word, be won,
2 Having been permitted to behold your reverently chaste behaviour,
3 Whose adorning, let it benot the outward, of plaiting the hair and wearing golden ornaments, or putting on of apparel,
4 But the hidden character, of the heart,in the incorruptible of the quiet, and meek, spirit, which is, in presence of God, of great price.
5 For, so, at one time, the holy women also, who directed their hope towards God, used to adorn themselves, being in submission unto their own husbands:
6 As, Sarah, was obedient unto Abraham, calling him, lord,whose children ye have becomeso long as ye are doing good, and not bringing yourselves into fear of any single cause of alarm.
