For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands; just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.

Are you not worth much more than they? "And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? "And why are you worried about clothing?
