6 just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; and you have proved to be her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.
7 You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
8 To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, loving, compassionate, and humble; 9 not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you would inherit a blessing. 10 For,
“The one who desires life, to love and see good days,
Must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.
Verse 6
In the first part of the verse, they are giving an example of a wife who obeyed her husband
And we have to prove to be her Children by doing what is right without fear.
We are not to have any fear according to this verse.
This is important because fear is important in our Christian walk.
12 So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, “After I have become old, am I to have pleasure, my lord being old also?” Genesis 18:12
Verse 7
This verse Flips and talks about the husband and the way he is to be toward his wife.
The husband is to show understanding and honor as fellow heirs of the grace of life.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, Ephesians 5:25
Verse 8
This list of the things we are to be as a couple as the writer sums it up.

Verse 9
Then verse 9 moves on to what we are not to be.
Returning evil for evil, insult for insult.
Then moves on to giving blessings instead
These blessings we are to have we were called for the very purpose of inheriting.
17 Never repay evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all people. Romans 12:17
Verse 10
The person who desires life and to love and see good days tongue must be keep from evil and the lips from speaking deceit
If you want a happy, good life, keep control of your tongue, and guard your lips from telling lies. 1 peter 3:10
12 Who is the person who desires life
And loves length of days, that he may see good? Psalm 34:12
