1 Peter

Chapter 3

1 LIKEWISE, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands, so that those who obey not the word may be won without difficulty through your good example.

2 When they see that you conduct yourselves with respect and modesty.

3 And do not adorn yourselves with outward adornments such as plaiting your hair, or the wearing of ornaments of gold, or costly apparel:

4 But adorn yourselves by the spiritual man within you, with meek pride which is incorruptible and an ornament which is rich in the sight of God.

5 For so also in the past did the holy women, who trusted in God, adorn their lives and were submissive to their own husbands:

6 Even as Sara was submissive to Abraham and called him my LORD: whose daughters you are by reason of good works, and so long as you are not confused by any kind of false value.

7 Likewise, you husbands, live with your wives with understanding, and hold them with tenderness like delicate vessels, because they also will inherit with you the gift of everlasting life; do this that you may not be hindered in your prayers.

8 Finally, live in harmony, share the suffering of those who suffer, be affectionate one to another, and be kind and gentle:

9 Not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but instead of these, render blessing; for to this end you have been called, that you may inherit a blessing.

10 Now, therefore, he who desires eternal life and wants to see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

11 Let him refrain from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.

12 For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers, but the countenance of the LORD is against the wicked.

13 And who is he that can harm you if you are zealous followers of that which is good?

14 But, and if you suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed: and be not afraid of those who terrify you, neither be troubled.

15 But sanctify the LORD Christ in your hearts: and be ready to give an answer in meekness and reverence to everyone who seeks from you a word concerning the hope of your faith:

16 Having a good conscience; so that they who speak evil of you, as of evil doers, may be ashamed as men who belittle your good works in Christ.

17 For it is better, if it is the will of God, that you suffer for good deeds, rather than for evil doing.

18 For Christ also once suffered for our sins, a just man for sinners, that he might bring you to God, wherefore while he died in the flesh, he lives in the Spirit.

19 And he preached to the souls imprisoned in Sheol;

20 Those who in the past were disobedient; and in the days of Noah, when the Spirit of God had patience, he commanded an ark to be made in the hope of their repentance, but only eight souls entered into it, and were saved by it floating upon the water.

21 You also are saved in that very manner by baptism, not merely by washing the filth from the body, but by confessing God with a clean conscience, and by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

22 Who is taken up to heaven, and is at the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.

Chapter 3

1 Likewise,3668 you wives,1135 be in subjection5293 to your3588 own2398 husbands;435 that, if1487 any5100 obey544 not the word,3056 they also2532 may without427 the word3056 be won2770 by the conversation391 of the wives;1135

2 While they behold2029 your5216 chaste53 conversation391 coupled with fear.5401

3 Whose3739 adorning2889 let it not be that outward1855 adorning2889 of plaiting1708 the hair,2359 and of wearing4025 of gold,5553 or2228 of putting1745 on1745 of apparel;2440

4 But let it be the hidden2927 man444 of the heart,2588 in that which is not corruptible,862 even the ornament of a meek4239 and quiet2272 spirit,4151 which3739 is in the sight1799 of God2316 of great4185 price.4185

5 For after3779 this3779 manner3779 in the old4218 time4218 the holy40 women1135 also,2532 who3588 trusted1679 in God,2316 adorned2885 themselves,1438 being in subjection5293 to their own2398 husbands:435

6 Even5613 as Sara4564 obeyed5219 Abraham,11 calling2564 him lord:2962 whose3739 daughters5043 you are, as long as you do15 well,15 and are not afraid5399 with any1536 amazement.4423

7 Likewise,3664 you husbands,435 dwell4924 with them according2596 to knowledge,1108 giving632 honor5092 to the wife,1134 as to the weaker772 vessel,4632 and as being heirs4789 together4789 of the grace5485 of life;2222 that your5216 prayers4335 be not hindered.1581

8 Finally,5056 be you all3956 of one3675 mind,3675 having compassion4835 one of another,4835 love5361 as brothers,5361 be pitiful,2155 be courteous:5391

9 Not rendering591 evil2556 for evil,2556 or2228 railing3059 for railing:3059 but contrariwise5121 blessing;2129 knowing1492 that you are thereunto1519 5124 called,2564 that you should inherit2816 a blessing.2129

10 For he that will2309 love25 life,2222 and see1492 good18 days,2250 let him refrain3973 his tongue1100 from evil,2556 and his lips5491 that they speak2980 no3361 guile:1388

11 Let him eschew1578 evil,2556 and do4160 good;18 let him seek2212 peace,1515 and ensue1377 it.

12 For the eyes3788 of the Lord2962 are over1909 the righteous,1342 and his ears3775 are open to their prayers:1162 but the face4383 of the Lord2962 is against1909 them that do4160 evil.2556

13 And who5101 is he that will harm2559 you, if1437 you be followers3402 of that which is good?18

14 But and if you suffer3958 for righteousness'1343 sake, happy3107 are you: and be not afraid5399 of their terror,5401 neither3366 be troubled;5015

15 But sanctify37 the Lord2962 God2316 in your5216 hearts:2588 and be ready2092 always104 to give an answer627 to every3956 man that asks154 you a reason3056 of the hope1680 that is in you with meekness4240 and fear:5401

16 Having2192 a good18 conscience;4893 that, whereas1722 3759 they speak2635 evil2635 of you, as of evildoers,2555 they may be ashamed2617 that falsely accuse1908 your5216 good18 conversation391 in Christ.5547

17 For it is better,2909 if1487 the will2307 of God2316 be so, that you suffer3958 for well15 doing,15 than2228 for evil2554 doing.2554

18 For Christ5547 also2532 has once530 suffered3958 for sins,266 the just1342 for the unjust,94 that he might bring4317 us to God,2316 being put2289 to death2289 in the flesh,4561 but quickened2227 by the Spirit:4151

19 By which3739 also2532 he went4198 and preached2784 to the spirits4151 in prison;5438

20 Which sometime4218 were disobedient,544 when3753 once530 the long-suffering3115 of God2316 waited1551 in the days2250 of Noah,3575 while the ark2787 was a preparing,2680 wherein1519 3757 few,3641 that is, eight3638 souls5590 were saved1295 by water.5204

21 The like499 figure499 whereunto3739 even baptism908 does also2532 now3568 save4982 us (not the putting595 away595 of the filth4509 of the flesh,4561 but the answer1906 of a good18 conscience4893 toward1519 God,2316) by the resurrection386 of Jesus2424 Christ:5547

22 Who3739 is gone4198 into1519 heaven,3772 and is on1722 the right1188 hand of God;2316 angels32 and authorities1849 and powers1411 being made5293 subject5293 to him.

3 And do not adorn yourselves with outward adornments such as plaiting your hair, or the wearing of ornaments of gold, or costly apparel:

8 Finally, live in harmony, share the suffering of those who suffer, be affectionate one to another, and be kind and gentle:

9 Not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but instead of these, render blessing; for to this end you have been called, that you may inherit a blessing.

9 Not rendering591 evil2556 for evil,2556 or2228 railing3059 for railing:3059 but contrariwise5121 blessing;2129 knowing1492 that you are thereunto1519 5124 called,2564 that you should inherit2816 a blessing.2129

10 Now, therefore, he who desires eternal life and wants to see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

10 For he that will2309 love25 life,2222 and see1492 good18 days,2250 let him refrain3973 his tongue1100 from evil,2556 and his lips5491 that they speak2980 no3361 guile:1388

11 Let him refrain from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.

11 Let him eschew1578 evil,2556 and do4160 good;18 let him seek2212 peace,1515 and ensue1377 it.

12 For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers, but the countenance of the LORD is against the wicked.

12 For the eyes3788 of the Lord2962 are over1909 the righteous,1342 and his ears3775 are open to their prayers:1162 but the face4383 of the Lord2962 is against1909 them that do4160 evil.2556

13 And who is he that can harm you if you are zealous followers of that which is good?

13 And who5101 is he that will harm2559 you, if1437 you be followers3402 of that which is good?18

14 But, and if you suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed: and be not afraid of those who terrify you, neither be troubled.

14 But and if you suffer3958 for righteousness'1343 sake, happy3107 are you: and be not afraid5399 of their terror,5401 neither3366 be troubled;5015

15 But sanctify the LORD Christ in your hearts: and be ready to give an answer in meekness and reverence to everyone who seeks from you a word concerning the hope of your faith:

15 But sanctify37 the Lord2962 God2316 in your5216 hearts:2588 and be ready2092 always104 to give an answer627 to every3956 man that asks154 you a reason3056 of the hope1680 that is in you with meekness4240 and fear:5401

16 Having a good conscience; so that they who speak evil of you, as of evil doers, may be ashamed as men who belittle your good works in Christ.

16 Having2192 a good18 conscience;4893 that, whereas1722 3759 they speak2635 evil2635 of you, as of evildoers,2555 they may be ashamed2617 that falsely accuse1908 your5216 good18 conversation391 in Christ.5547

17 For it is better, if it is the will of God, that you suffer for good deeds, rather than for evil doing.

17 For it is better,2909 if1487 the will2307 of God2316 be so, that you suffer3958 for well15 doing,15 than2228 for evil2554 doing.2554

18 For Christ also once suffered for our sins, a just man for sinners, that he might bring you to God, wherefore while he died in the flesh, he lives in the Spirit.

18 For Christ5547 also2532 has once530 suffered3958 for sins,266 the just1342 for the unjust,94 that he might bring4317 us to God,2316 being put2289 to death2289 in the flesh,4561 but quickened2227 by the Spirit:4151

19 And he preached to the souls imprisoned in Sheol;

19 By which3739 also2532 he went4198 and preached2784 to the spirits4151 in prison;5438

20 Those who in the past were disobedient; and in the days of Noah, when the Spirit of God had patience, he commanded an ark to be made in the hope of their repentance, but only eight souls entered into it, and were saved by it floating upon the water.

20 Which sometime4218 were disobedient,544 when3753 once530 the long-suffering3115 of God2316 waited1551 in the days2250 of Noah,3575 while the ark2787 was a preparing,2680 wherein1519 3757 few,3641 that is, eight3638 souls5590 were saved1295 by water.5204

21 You also are saved in that very manner by baptism, not merely by washing the filth from the body, but by confessing God with a clean conscience, and by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

22 Who is taken up to heaven, and is at the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
