[3] Whose adorning not that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; [4] But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God of great price. [5] For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: [6] Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and not afraid with any amazement. [7] Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that prayers not [8] Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, [9] Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; that thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. [10] For he that will love life, and good days, let him refrain tongue from evil, and lips that they speak no guile: [11] Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. [12] For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
