1 Peter 3:5 in Context — 1 Peter 3

3 Ayez, non cette parure extérieure qui consiste dans les cheveux tressés, les ornements d’or, ou les habits qu’on revêt,

4 mais la parure intérieure et cachée dans le cœur, la pureté incorruptible d’un esprit doux et paisible, qui est d’un grand prix devant Dieu.

5 Ainsi se paraient autrefois les saintes femmes qui espéraient en Dieu, soumises à leurs maris,

6 comme Sara, qui obéissait à Abraham et l’appelait son seigneur. C’est d’elle que vous êtes devenues les filles, en faisant ce qui est bien, sans vous laisser troubler par aucune crainte.

7 Maris, montrez à votre tour de la sagesse dans vos rapports avec vos femmes, comme avec un sexe plus faible; honorez-les, comme devant aussi hériter avec vous de la grâce de la vie. Qu’il en soit ainsi, afin que rien ne vienne faire obstacle à vos prières.
