We're also starting St.

Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians chapters 1, 2, and 3.

So six chapters today, including Proverbs chapter 30, verses 15 and 16.

As always, the Bible translation I'm reading from is the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition.

I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension.

If you want to download your own Bible in a Year reading plan, you can visit ascensionpress.com slash Bible in a Year.

You can also subscribe to this podcast in these last couple weeks.

Receive daily episodes and daily updates, and you won't have to go hunting and pecking for each episode every single day.

You know, because today is day 353, and we're reading 1 Peter 3, 4, and 5, 1 Thessalonians 1, 2, and 3, as well as Proverbs 30, verses 15 and 16.

The first letter of Peter, chapter 3, Wives and Husbands.

Nothing has been better to get me more deeply into the Bible than the Great Adventure Bible Timeline.

Likewise, you wives, be submissive to your husbands, so that some, though they do not obey the word, may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives when they see irreverent and chaste behavior.

And I'm just really grateful, not only for you and for that, but also that here you are now as we begin this Catholic Bible or the Bible in a Year podcast, that we get to use this thing that has changed my life maybe more than any other study I've ever done in my entire life.

let not yours be the outward adorning with braiding of hair, decoration of gold, and wearing of robes, but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable jewel of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.

So once the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves and were submissive to their husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord.

And you are now her children if you do right and let nothing terrify you.

Likewise, you husbands,

Live considerately with your wives, bestowing honor on the woman as the weaker sex, since you are joint heirs of the grace of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered.

Suffering for doing right.
