¹¹ The heart of her husband trusts in her. He shall have no lack of gain.

⁹ She said to her husband, See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, that passes by us continually.

¹⁰ Let us make, Please, a little chamber on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a seat, and a lamp stand: and it shall be, when he comes to us, that he shall turn in there.

²² She called to her husband, and said, Please send me one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.

²³ He said, Why will you go to him today? it is neither new moon nor Sabbath. She said, It shall be well.

¹ In like manner, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any don't obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word;

² seeing your pure behavior in fear.

³ Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing;

⁴ but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious.

⁵ For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God, also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:

⁶ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.

⁷ You husbands, in like manner, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered.
