Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up by training and instructing them about the Lord. Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear, trembling, and sincerity, as when you obey the Messiah. Do not do this only while you're being watched in order to please them, but be like slaves of the Messiah, who are determined to obey God's will. Serve willingly, as if you were serving the Lord and not merely people, because you know that everyone will receive a reward from the Lord for whatever good he has done, whether he is a slave or free.

1 Peter 3:1-7

In a similar way, you wives must submit yourselves to your husbands so that, even if some of them refuse to obey the word, they may be won over without a word through your conduct as wives when they see your pure and reverent lives. Your beauty should not be an external one, consisting of braided hair or the wearing of gold ornaments and dresses. read more.

After all, this is how holy women who set their hope on God used to make themselves beautiful in the past.

Honor them as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing may interfere with your prayers.
