2. Your husbands will see the pure lives that you live with respect for God.
3. It is not fancy hair, gold jewelry, or fine clothes that should make you beautiful.
4. No, your beauty should come from inside you—the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit. That beauty will never disappear. It is worth very much to God.
5. It was the same with the holy women who lived long ago and followed God. They made themselves beautiful in that same way. They were willing to serve their husbands.
6. I am talking about women like Sarah. She obeyed Abraham, her husband, and called him her master. And you women are true children of Sarah if you always do what is right and are not afraid.
7. In the same way, you husbands should live with your wives in an understanding way, since they are weaker than you. You should show them respect, because God gives them the same blessing he gives you—the grace of true life. Do this so that nothing will stop your prayers from being heard.
8. So all of you should live together in peace. Try to understand each other. Love each other like brothers and sisters. Be kind and humble.
