ગુજરાતીપિતરનો પહેલો પત્ર ૩:૫
કેમ કે પ્રાચીન સમયમાં જે પવિત્ર સ્ત્રીઓ ઈશ્વર પર ભરોસો રાખતી હતી, તેઓ પોતપોતાનાં પતિને આધીન રહીને, તે જ પ્રમાણે પોતાને શણગારતી હતી.
हिन्दी1 पतरस ३:५
और पूर्वकाल में पवित्र स्त्रियाँ भी, जो परमेश्वर पर आशा रखती थीं, अपने आपको इसी रीति से संवारती और अपने-अपने पति के अधीन रहती थीं।

In context

3Let your beauty come not from the outward adorning of braiding your hair, and of wearing gold ornaments or of putting on fine clothing,

4but from the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God’s sight.

5For this is how in the past the holy women who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands.

6So Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are if you do well and are not put in fear by any terror.

7You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman as to the weaker vessel, as also being joint heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
