1 Peter 3:1
NASB
1 Pet 3:1
&
In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any {of them} are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives,
1 Pet 3:2
&
as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior.
1 Pet 3:3
&
Your adornment must not be {merely} external--braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses;
1 Pet 3:4
&
but {let it be} the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.
1 Pet 3:5
&
For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands;
1 Pet 3:6
&
just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.
1 Pet 3:7
&
You husbands in the same way, live with {your wives} in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, 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.
