1 Peter 3:1-6

Revised Standard Version w/ Apocrypha RSVA

1 Likewise you wives, be submissive to your husbands, so that some, though they do not obey the word, may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives,

2 when they see your reverent and chaste behavior.

3 Let not yours be the outward adorning with braiding of hair, decoration of gold, and wearing of fine clothing,

4 but let it be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable jewel of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.

5 So once the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves and were submissive to their husbands,

6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are now her children if you do right and let nothing terrify you.

New International Version NIV

1 Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own 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,

2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.

3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.

4 Rather, 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.

5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands,

6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
