1 Peter 3:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 But let it be the [a]hidden man of the heart, which consisteth in the incorruption of a meek and quiet spirit, which is [b]before God a thing much set by.
5 [c]For even after this manner in time past did the holy women, which trusted in God, tire themselves, and were subject to their husbands.
6 As Sarah obeyed Abraham, and (A)called him Sir: whose daughters ye are, while ye do well, [d]not being afraid of any terror.
