1 Peter 3:3-13

3Your beauty should notG3756 comeG1510 from outwardG1855 adornmentG2889, such as braidedG1708 hairG2359 orG2532 goldG5553 jewelry orG2228 fine clothesG2440, 4butG235 from theG3588 innerG2927 dispositionG444 ofG3588 your heartG2588, theG3588 unfadingG862 beauty of aG3588 gentleG4239 andG2532 quietG2272 spiritG4151, whichG3739 isG1510 preciousG4185 in God’sG2316 sightG1799. 5ForG1063 this is howG3779 theG3588 holyG40 womenG1135 of the pastG4218 adornedG2885 themselvesG1438. They put their hopeG1679 inG1519 GodG2316 and were submissiveG5293 toG3588 their husbandsG435, 6just asG5613 SarahG4564 obeyedG5219 AbrahamG11 and calledG2564 himG846 lordG2962. And you areG1096 her childrenG5043 if you do what is rightG15 andG2532 refuseG3361 to give wayG5399G3367 to fearG4423.

HusbandsG435, in the same wayG3668, treatG4924G632 your wivesG1134 withG2596 considerationG1108 asG5613 a delicateG772 vesselG4632, andG2532 with honorG5092 asG5613 fellow heirsG4789 of the gracious giftG5485 of lifeG2222, so thatG1519 yourG4771 prayersG4335 will not be hinderedG3361G1465.

8FinallyG1161G3588G5056, allG3956 of you, be like-mindedG3675 and sympatheticG4835, love as brothersG5361, be tenderheartedG2155 and humbleG5012. 9Do not repayG3361G591 evilG2556 withG473 evilG2556 orG2228 insultG3059 withG473 insultG3059, butG1161G5121 with blessingG2127, becauseG3754 toG1519 thisG3778 you were calledG2564 so thatG2443 you may inheritG2816 a blessingG2129. 10ForG1063,

“WhoeverG3588 wouldG2309 loveG25 lifeG2222andG2532 seeG3708 goodG18 daysG2250must keepG3973 his tongueG1100 fromG575 evilG2556andG2532 his lipsG5491 from deceitfulG1388 speechG2980.11He must turnG1578 fromG575 evilG2556 andG2532 doG4160 goodG18;he must seekG2212 peaceG1515 andG2532 pursueG1377 itG846.12ForG3754 the eyesG3788 of the LordG2962 are onG1909 the righteousG1342,andG2532 HisG846 earsG3775 are inclined toG1519 theirG846 prayerG1162.ButG1161 the faceG4383 of the LordG2962 is againstG1909those who doG4160 evilG2556.”1

WhoG5101 can harmG2559 youG4771 ifG1437 you areG1096 zealousG2207 for whatG3588 is goodG18?
