Wives must not let their beauty,
Be just something external;
Rather as honest truly,
Reflect what is internal.
Beauty comes not from the hair,
Gold jewelry or clothing;
Instead by beauty to share,
As to what the heart will bring.
Inner beauty cannot die,
And can never be destroyed;
It is too honest to lie,
Of the attitude deployed.
Beauty expresses the mood,
Which God considers precious;
A soft and calm attitude,
Filled with heavenly solace.
This is how holy women,
Were having the confidence;
In the past to back their men,
Through having obedience.
Wives need to give the respect,
Authority of husbands;
Not abandon or reject,
Their suggestions or commands.
Husbands must live with your wife,
Knowing that they are weaker;
Honor them throughout your life,
Thinking of her as meeker.
Life-giving kindness from God,
So nothing will interfere;
With prayers to honor and laud,
Caring love that is sincere.
You must live in harmony,
Being lovingly humble;
Alleviate agony,
Not complaining to grumble.
Turn away from the evil,
And speaking deceitful things;
Chasing away the devil,
Only pursue what peace brings.
