1 Peter 3:7

MarriageLove for othersPrayerIdentity and self-worth

5 For this is how the holy women of the past adorned themselves. They put their hope in God and were submissive to their husbands,

6 just as Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. And you are her children if you do what is right and refuse to give way to fear.

Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as a delicate vessel, and with honor as fellow heirs of the gracious gift of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

8 Finally, all of you, be like-minded and sympathetic, love as brothers, be tenderhearted and humble.

9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
