IC@MK Sermon Series
1 Peter 3:1-2 1
Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives2
when they see your respectful and pure conduct.
1 Peter 3:3-4 3
Do not let your adorning be externalthe braiding of hair, the wearing of gold, or the putting on of clothing4
but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.
1 Peter 3:5-6 5
For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their husbands, 6
as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.
