“Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;”
“Whoseadorninglet it not be the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on apparel; ”
“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;”
“Let your beauty not be external– the braiding of hair and wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes–”
“Whose adorning, let it not be the outward plaiting of the hair, or the wearing of gold, or the putting on of apparel:”
“Do not let your ornaments be those of the body such as dressing of the hair, or putting on of jewels of gold or fair clothing;”
“Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;”
Similarly also, wives should be subject to their husbands, so that, even if some do not believe the Word, they may benefit without the Word, through the behavior of these wives,
as they consider with fear your chaste behavior.
For you, there should be no unnecessary adornment of the hair, or surrounding with gold, or the wearing of ornate clothing.
Instead, you should be a hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptibility of a quiet and meek spirit, rich in the sight of God.
For in this way, in past times also, holy women adorned themselves, hoping in God, being subject to their own husbands.
For so Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. You are her daughters, well-behaved and unafraid of any disturbance.
