1 Peter 3:1-5 TLB Self-Help Edition Tyndale 1984 Wives, fit in with your husbands' plans; for then if they refuse to listen when you talk to them about the Lord, they will be won by your respectful, pure behavior.
Your godly lives will speak to them better than any words.
Don't be concerned about the outward beauty that depends on jewelry, or beautiful clothes, or hair arrangement.
Be beautiful inside, in your hearts, with the lasting charm of a gentle and quiet spirit which is so precious to God.
That kind of deep beauty was seen in the saintly women of old, who trusted God and fitted in with heir husbands' plans.
Wives and Husbands
1 Peter 3:1-5 NNCV Giant Print Edition 2006 In the same way, you wives should yield to your husbands. Then, if some husbands do not obey God's teaching, they will be persuaded to believe without anyone's saying a word to them. They will be persuaded by the way the wives live.
Your husbands will see the pure lives you live with your respect for God.
It is not fancy hair, gold jewelry, or fine clothes that should make you beautiful.
No, your beauty should come from within you--the beauty of a gentile and quiet spirit that will never be destroyed and is very precious to God.
In the same way the holy women who lived long ago and followed God made themselves beautiful, yielding to their own husbands.
