1 Peter 3:1-4 ▼

1 Let the married women be subservient to their husbands, that if they happen to disbelieve the gospel, they may be gain'd by the instructive conduct of their wives,

2 by observing the religious chastity of their manners.

3 let their ornament consist, not in what is external, in curling the hair, in appendages of gold, or finery of dress;

4 but in the internal qualities of the mind, in that purity, in that mild and dispassionate temper, which is so acceptable to the divine being.
