Won Without a Word
1 Peter 3:1-6
Pastor Dana Olson
INEXPRESSIBLE JOY AHEAD
WON WITHOUT A WORD
3 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
wives, 2 when they see your respectful and pure
conduct. 3 Do not let your adorning be external—the
braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or
the clothing you wear— 4 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. 5 For this is how the holy
women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves,
by submitting to their own 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.
