1 Peter 3:1-7

1 Peter 3:1-7 FBV

Wives, accept your husbands' authority in the same way, so that if some husbands refuse to accept the Word, they may still be won over without words by the way you behave, recognizing your pure and reverent behavior. Don't focus on outward attractiveness—hairstyles, gold jewelry, or fashionable clothes— instead let it come from within, the lasting attractiveness of a gentle and peaceful spirit on the inside. That's what God values. This is how holy women of the past who put their confidence in God made themselves beautiful, yielding to their husbands, like Sarah who obeyed Abraham, and called him “lord.” You are her daughters if you do what's good and right and are not intimidated. Husbands, in just the same way, be considerate to your wives as you live together with them. Though she may not be as strong as you are, you should honor her since she will inherit equally with you God's gift of life. Make sure to do this so nothing will get in the way of your prayers.
