彼得前书3:1-6
1你们作妻子的,要顺服自己的丈夫。这样,若有不信从道理的丈夫,他们虽然不听道,也可以因妻子的品行被感化过来。2这正是因看见你们有贞洁的品行,和敬畏的心。3你们不要以外面的辫头发,戴金饰,穿美衣,为妆饰,4只要以里面存着长久温柔安静的心为妆饰。这在神面前是极宝贵的。5因为古时仰赖神的圣洁妇人,正是以此为妆饰,顺服自己的丈夫。6就如撒拉听从亚伯拉罕,称他为主。你们若行善,不因恐吓而害怕,便是撒拉的女儿了。
1In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over 2by observing your pure and reverent lives. 3Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. 4You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God. 5This is how the holy women of old made themselves beautiful. They put their trust in God and accepted the authority of their husbands. 6For instance, Sarah obeyed her husband, Abraham, and called him her master. You are her daughters when you do what is right without fear of what your husbands might do.
