1 Peter 3:3-6
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 Do not adorn yourselves outwardly by braiding your hair and by wearing gold ornaments or fine clothing;(A) 4 rather, let your adornment be the inner self with the lasting beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God’s sight.(B) 5 It was in this way long ago that the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves by being subject to their husbands. 6 Thus Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. You have become her daughters as long as you do what is good and never let fears alarm you.(C)

1 Peter 3:3-6
New International Version
3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.(A) 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self,(B) the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.(C) 5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God(D) used to adorn themselves.(E) They submitted themselves to their own husbands, 6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord.(F) You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
1 Peter 3:3-6
King James Version
1 Peter 3:3-6
King James Version
3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
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.

3 For I will pour water on the thirsty land

like willows by flowing streams.
5 This one will say, “I am the Lord’s”;
another will be called by the name of Jacob;
yet another will write on the hand, “The Lord’s,”
and adopt the name of Israel.(B)
