1 Peter 3:1–9

¹Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, that, even if any are disobedient to the word, they may be gained without the word by the conversation of the wives, ²having witnessed your pure conversation carried out in fear; ³whose adorning let it not be that outward one of tressing of hair, and wearing gold, or putting on apparel; ⁴but the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price. ⁵For thus also the holy women who have hoped in God heretofore adorned themselves, being subject to their own husbands; ⁶as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose children ye have become, doing good, and not fearing with any kind of consternation. ⁷Ye husbands likewise, dwell with them according to knowledge, as with a weaker, even the female, vessel, giving them honour, as also fellow-heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.

⁸Finally, be all of one mind, sympathising, full of brotherly love, tender hearted, humble minded; ⁹not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing; but on the contrary, blessing others, because ye have been called to this, that ye should inherit blessing.
