3:1 In the same way, wives, be subject to your own husbands. Then, ¹  even if some are disobedient to the word, they will be won over without a word by the way you live, ²  3:2 when they see your pure and reverent conduct. ³  3:3 Let your ⁴  beauty ⁵  not be external – the braiding of hair and wearing of gold jewelry ⁶  or fine clothes – 3:4 but the inner person ⁷  of the heart, the lasting beauty of a gentle and tranquil spirit, which is precious in God’s sight. 3:5 For in the same way the holy women who hoped in God long ago adorned themselves by being subject to their husbands, 3:6 like Sarah who obeyed ⁸  Abraham, calling him lord. You become her children ⁹  when you do what is good and have no fear in doing so. ¹⁰
