“Older women likewise are to reverent in their behavior, ... that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, ... that the word of God may not be dishonored.” Titus 2:3-5

“In the same way, you wives, be submissive [easy to get along with] to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, as they observe your chase and respectful behavior. And let not your adornment be merely external - braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a quiet and gentle spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.” 1Peter 3:1-4
