1 Peter 3:4-7
New American Standard Bible
4 but it should be (A)the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. 5 For in this way the holy women of former times, (B)who hoped in God, also used to adorn themselves, being subject to their own husbands, 6 just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, (C)calling him lord; and you have proved to be her children if you do what is right [a](D)without being frightened by any fear.
7 (E)You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with [b](F)someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
