3Do not let your adornment be the outward one—braiding of hair, wearing of gold jewelry, or putting on of clothing—

4but the hidden person of the heart, in the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious before God.

5For in this way formerly also the holy women who hoped in God adorned themselves, submitting to their own husbands,

6just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. You have become her children if you do good and do not fear any intimidation.
