1 Peter 3:5-7
English Standard Version
5 For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, (A)calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and (B)do not fear anything that is frightening.
7 Likewise, (C)husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker (D)vessel, since they are heirs with you[a] of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
