1 Peter 3

³ Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair or gold jewelry or fine clothes,

⁴ but from the inner disposition of your heart, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.

⁵ For this is how the holy women of the past adorned themselves. They put their hope in God and were submissive to their husbands,

⁶ just as Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. And you are her children if you do what is right and refuse to give way to fear.

⁷ Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as a delicate vessel, and with honor as fellow heirs of the gracious gift of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
