Duties of Wives and Husbands

1 Peter 3:1-7

In the same way, wives, submit to your husbands; so that even if some of them do not believe the Word, they will be won over by your conduct, without your saying anything,

as they see your respectful and pure behavior.

Your beauty should not consist in externals such as fancy hairstyles, gold jewelry or what you wear;

rather, let it be the inner character of your heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit. In God’s sight this is of great value.

This is how the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves and submit to their husbands,

the way Sarah obeyed Avraham, honoring him as her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not succumb to fear.

You husbands, likewise, conduct your married lives with understanding. Although your wife may be weaker physically, you should respect her as a fellow-heir of the gift of Life. If you don’t, your prayers will be blocked.
