Whoseadorninglet it notbethatoutward adorning of plaitingthe hair, andof wearingof gold, orof putting onof apparel; But let it be thehiddenmanof theheart, inthat which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meekandquietspirit, whichisin the sightof Godof great price. Forafter this mannerin the old timetheholywomenalso, who trustedinGod, adornedthemselves, being in subjectionunto their ownhusbands: Even asSarahobeyedAbraham, callinghimlord: whosedaughtersye are, as long as ye do well, andare not afraidwith anyamazement. Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them accordingto knowledge, givinghonorunto thewife, asunto the weakervessel, andasbeing heirs togetherof the graceof life; that yourprayersbe nothindered. Finally, be ye allof one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Notrenderingevilforevil, orrailingforrailing: butcontrariwiseblessing; knowingthatye are thereuntocalled, thatye should inherita blessing.
