Daughters of Sarah 1Peter 3: 1-6
Likewise, ye wives, [be] in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
While they behold your chaste conversation [coupled] with fear.
Whose adorning let it not be that outward [adorning] of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. 1Pet.3:1-6
Where are the daughters of Sarah
And of those holy women of old,
Blessed mothers and wives in Israel,
Whose faith in Jehovah was bold?
These were the daughters of Sarah,
Who trembled in the presence of God,
And conducted themselves in quietness,
While on this dark earth they trod.
Praise for the offspring of Sarah
Whose souls so inwardly adorned,
With grace that is altogether lovely,
But here in this world is scorned.
There is a need for the daughters of Sarah
In the world that we live in today,
For women of faith, who stand firm in the truth,
As examples to those going astray.
Give us now daughters of Sarah,
Obedient, patient and strong,
With love for their husbands and children,
Consistently doing no wrong.
Rise up ye daughters of Sarah!
From the trends of this world now turn.
Fear not the women of Babylon;
But fear Him Who is soon to return!

The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,[To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. Titus 2:3-5
