And you became imitators of us, and the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation, with the joy of the Holy Ghost; so that you are an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.

Beloved, I exhort you as pilgrims and strangers, to abstain from the carnal desire which wars against the soul; having your deportment beautiful among the Gentiles: in order that in whatsoever they calumniate you as evil doers, seeing from your beautiful works, they may glorify God in the day of his visitation. Submit to every human creature for the sake of the Lord: whether to the king as supereminent, read more.
or to governors, as those having been sent out by him unto the condemnation of evil doers, and the praise of those doing good; because thus it is the will of God, that doing good you should put to shame the ignorance of the ignorant people: as free, and not as having the freedom as a cover of evil, but as servants of God. Honor all people; love the brotherhood with divine love; fear God; honor the king. Servants, be submissive to your masters with all reverence; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked. For this is grace, if, through the conscience of God, one bears sorrows and suffering unjustly. For what glory is there, if, committing sin and being buffeted, you endure it? But if, doing good and suffering you endure it, this is grace with God. For unto this you have been called: because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you may follow in his steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth, who, being reviled, reviled not again; suffering, he threatened not, but gave up to the one judging righteously: who himself has borne our sins in his own body on the wood, in order that we, being made free from sins, may live unto righteousness: by whose stripe you are healed. For you have wandered away like sheep; but you have now turned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

For in this way in olden times the holy wives, the ones having hope toward God, were indeed accustomed to beautify themselves, submissive to their own husbands: as Sarah submitted to Abraham, calling him Lord: whose children you have become, doing good, and not fearing any calamity.
