3 Whose 'adorning' let it not be the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on apparel;
4 but 'let it be' the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible 'apparel' of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
5 For after this manner aforetime the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye now are, if ye do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.
7 Ye husbands, in like manner, dwell with 'your wives' according to knowledge, giving honor unto the woman, as unto the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; to the end that your prayers be not hindered.
