The Hidden Ornament of a Meek Spirit

"In like manner, let the wives be in subjection to their own husbands; that, indeed, if any obey not the word, they, without the word, may be won by the behavior of the wives, (when they behold your chaste behavior, joined with reverence,) whose adorning, let it not be that which is external—the plaiting of hair, trinkets of gold, or finery of dress; but the hidden man of the heart, with the incorruptible ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great value. [Macknight's Translation of 1 Pet. iii, 1-4.
