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.

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,

King James Version
1 Peter 3:3-5
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:

5 The real widow, left alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day,(A) 6 but the widow[a] who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives.(B) 7 Give these commands as well, so that they may be above reproach.(C) 8 And whoever does not provide for relatives, and especially for family members, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.(D)
9 Let a widow be put on the list if she is not less than sixty years old and has been married only once;[b] 10 she must be well attested for her good works, as one who has brought up children, shown hospitality, washed the saints’ feet, helped the afflicted, and devoted herself to doing good in every way.(E)

5 The widow who is really in need(A) and left all alone puts her hope in God(B) and continues night and day to pray(C) and to ask God for help. 6 But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives.(D) 7 Give the people these instructions,(E) so that no one may be open to blame. 8 Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied(F) the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 No widow may be put on the list of widows unless she is over sixty, has been faithful to her husband, 10 and is well known for her good deeds,(G) such as bringing up children, showing hospitality,(H) washing the feet(I) of the Lord’s people, helping those in trouble(J) and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds.

5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
7 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man.
10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.
