1 Peter 3:4-6
New Testament for Everyone
4 Rather, true beauty is the secret beauty of the heart, of a sincere, gentle and quiet spirit. That is very precious to God. 5 That is how the holy women of old, who hoped in God, used to make themselves beautiful in submission to their husbands. 6 Take Sarah, for instance, who obeyed Abraham and called him “Master.” You are her children if you do good and have no fear of intimidation.

彼得前書 3:4-6
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
4 要以溫柔、嫺靜這些永不褪色的內在美為妝飾，這是上帝所看重的。 5 從前那些仰賴上帝的聖潔婦女，都是以這些來妝飾自己，並順服自己的丈夫， 6 正如撒拉順服亞伯拉罕，稱他為主人。所以，如果你們做對的事，不怕恐嚇，就是撒拉的女兒。

1 Peter 3:4-6
English Standard Version
4 but let your adorning be (A)the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. 5 For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, (B)calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and (C)do not fear anything that is frightening.

1 Peter 3:4-6
New English Translation
4 but the inner person[a] of the heart, the lasting beauty of a gentle and tranquil spirit, which is precious in God’s sight. 5 For in the same way the holy women who hoped in God long ago adorned themselves by being subject to their husbands, 6 like Sarah who obeyed[b] Abraham, calling him lord. You become her children[c] when you do what is good and have no fear in doing so.[d]
