1 Peter 3:1-6
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Be Subject To Your Husbands, Adorning Yourself With Things Precious To God
3 Likewise wives, being subject to your own husbands, in order that even if any are disobeying the word, they may be gained without a word by the conduct of their wives, 2 having observed your pure conduct with fear[a]— 3 of whom let what is observed [b] be not the outside adornment consisting of a braiding of hair and a wearing of gold things or putting-on of garments, 4 but the hidden person of the heart in[c] the imperishable adorning consisting of the gentle and quiet spirit, which is very-precious in the sight of God. 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[d]— of whom[e] you became children while[f] doing-good and not fearing any terror[g].
