1 Peter 3:1
"3 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;"
The word "conversation" here does not mean "speech", but rather, it means "life."
In short, God meant that the husbands could be won over by the "life of the wives."
This is why it is important to understand the meaning, one might believe that the wives should speak to their husbands, and it is partly true, except in the original language it means her life as a whole will witness to her husband.
After all, words are easy, it is by the life that support the words that make the difference.
