1 Peter 3:3-13

3whose adorning let it not be that outward one of tressing of hair, and wearing gold, or putting on apparel;

4but the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible [ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of 1God is of great price.

5For thus also the holy women who have hoped in 2God heretofore adorned themselves, being subject to their own husbands;

6as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose children ye have become, doing good, and not fearing with any kind of consternation.

7[Ye] husbands likewise, dwell with [them] according to knowledge, as with a weaker, [even] the female, vessel, giving [them] honour, as also fellow-heirs of [the] grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.

8Finally, [be] all of one mind, sympathising, full of brotherly love, tender hearted, humble minded;

9not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing; but on the contrary, blessing [others], because ye have been called to this, that ye should inherit blessing.

10For he that will love life and see good days, let him cause his tongue to cease from evil and his lips that they speak no guile.

11And let him avoid evil, and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it;

12because [the] eyes of [the] Lord [are] on [the] righteous, and his ears towards their supplications; but [the] face of [the] Lord [is] against them that do evil.

13And who shall injure you if ye have become imitators of that which [is] good?
