1 Peter 3:5-7
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
5 For in this manner formerly also the holy wives putting-hope in God were adorning themselves, being subject to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord[a]— of whom[b] you became children while[c] doing-good and not fearing any terror[d].
Honor Your Wives As Fellow Heirs of The Gift of Life
7 Husbands likewise, living-with them[e] according-to[f] knowledge[g], showing honor to the feminine[h] one as to[i] the weaker vessel[j], as indeed to your fellow-heirs of the grace[k] of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

1 Peter 3:5-7
King James Version
5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
