1 Peter 3

1In like mannerG391, ye wivesG1135, bein subjectionG5293 to your ownG2398 husbandsG435; that, evenG2532 if any obey not the wordG3056, they may without the wordG3056 be gainedG2770 by the behavior of their wivesG1135; 2beholding your chaste behaviorcoupledwith fearG5401. 3Whoseadorninglet it not beG1510 the outward adorning of braiding the hairG2359, and of wearing jewels of goldG5553, or of putting on apparel; 4but let it beG1510 the hidden manG444 of the heartG2588, in the incorruptible apparel of a meek and quietG2272 spiritG4151, which isG1510 in the sight of GodG2316 of great price. 5For after this mannerG3779 aforetime the holyG40 womenG1135 alsoG2532, who hopedG1679 in GodG2316, adornedG2885 themselves, being in subjectionG5293 to their ownG2398 husbandsG435: 6as SarahG4564 obeyedG5219 AbrahamG11, callingG2564 him lordG2962: whose childrenG5043 ye now are, if ye do well, and are not put in fearG5399 by any terror.

7Ye husbandsG435, in like manner, dwell withyour wivesaccordingG2596 to knowledgeG1108, giving honorG5092 unto the woman, as unto the weakerG772 vesselG4632, as being alsoG2532 joint-heirs of the graceG5485 of lifeG2222; to the end that your prayersG4335 be not hinderedG1465.

8Finally, be ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humbleminded: 9not rendering evilG2556 for evilG2556, or reviling for reviling; but contrariwise blessingG2129; for hereunto were ye calledG2564, that ye should inheritG2816 a blessingG2129. 10For,

13And who is he that will harmG2559 you, if ye be zealousG2207 of that which is goodG18? 14But evenG2532 if ye should sufferG3958 for righteousness’ sakeG1223, blessed are ye: and fearG5401 not their fearG5401, neither be troubledG5015; 15but sanctifyG37 in your heartsG2588 ChristG5547 as LordG2962: being readyG2092 alwaysG104 to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerningG4012 the hopeG1680 that is in you, yet with meekness and fearG5401: 16having a goodG18 conscienceG4893; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shameG2617 who revile your goodG18 mannerG391 of lifeG391 in ChristG5547. 17For it is better, if the will of GodG2316 should so will, that ye sufferG3958 for well-doing than for evil-doing. 18Because ChristG5547 alsoG2532 suffered for sinsG266 onceG530, the righteousG1342 for the unrighteousG94, that he might bringG4317 us to GodG2316; being putG2289 to deathG2289 in the fleshG4561, but made aliveG2227 in the spiritG4151; 19in which alsoG2532 he wentG4198 and preachedG2784 unto the spiritsG4151 in prisonG5438, 20that aforetime wereG1510 disobedientG544, whenG3753 the longsuffering of GodG2316 waited in the daysG2250 of NoahG3575, while the arkG2787 wasG1510 a preparing, wherein fewG3641, that isG1510, eightG3638 soulsG5590, wereG1510 savedG1295 through waterG5204: 21which alsoG2532 after a true likeness doth nowG3568 saveG4982 you, evenG2532 baptismG908, not the putting away of the filth of the fleshG4561, but the interrogation of a goodG18 conscienceG4893 toward GodG2316, through the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547; 22who isG1510 on the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316, having goneG4198 into heavenG3772; angelsG32 and authoritiesG1849 and powersG1411 beingG1510 made subjectG5293 unto him.
