因为古时仰赖上帝的圣洁妇人正是以此为妆饰，顺服自己的丈夫。

因为古时仰赖神的圣洁妇人正是以此为妆饰，顺服自己的丈夫。

因为古时仰望神的圣洁妇女，正是这样装饰自己，顺服丈夫，

实际上，从前盼望神的那些圣洁妇女，也是这样装饰自己，服从自己丈夫的；

古昔聖女、上帝是望、亦以是自飾、服於其夫、

維昔淑女、上帝是賴、以此自飾、亦順其夫、

古昔仰賴天主之聖女、亦以此自飾、而服於其夫、

在昔懿德之婦、亦莫不以此自飾、仰望天主、敬事其夫。

In the same way, older women are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not slaves to excessive drinking. They are to teach what is good,so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands and to love their children,

The widow who is truly in need and left all alone has put her hope in God and continues night and day in her petitions and prayers;

when they observe your pure, reverent lives.Don’t let your beauty consist of outward things like elaborate hairstyles and wearing gold jewelry or fine clothes,but rather what is inside the heart— the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.

Who can find a wife of noble character? She is far more precious than jewels.
