1 Wives, in
the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of
them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words
by the behavior of their wives,
2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.
3Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such
as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine
clothes.
4 Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the
unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great
worth in God's sight.
5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put
their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were
submissive to their own husbands,
6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her
master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not
give way to fear. |
