1 Peter 3
Darby Bible
1LikewiseG3668, wivesG1135, [be] subjectG5293 to your ownG2398 husbandsG435, that, evenG2532 if any are disobedientG544 to the wordG3056, they may be gainedG2770 without [the] wordG3056 by the conversation of the wivesG1135, 2having witnessed your pureG53 conversation [carried out] in fearG5401; 3whose adorning let it not beG1510 that outward oneG3739 of tressing of hairG2359, and wearing goldG5553, or putting on apparel; 4but the hidden manG444 of the heartG2588, in the incorruptible [ornament] of a meek and quietG2272 spiritG4151, which in the sight of 1GodG2316 isG1510 of great price. 5For thusG3779 alsoG2532 the holyG40 womenG1135 who have hopedG1679 in 2GodG2316 heretofore adornedG2885 themselves, being subjectG5293 to their ownG2398 husbandsG435; 6as SarahG4564 obeyedG5219 AbrahamG11, callingG2564 him lordG2962; whose childrenG5043 ye have becomeG1096, doing goodG15, and not fearingG5399 with any kind of consternation. 7[Ye] husbandsG435 likewiseG3668, dwell with [them] accordingG2596 to knowledgeG1108, as with a weakerG772, [evenG2532] the female, vesselG4632, giving [them] honour, as alsoG2532 fellow-heirs of [the] graceG5485 of lifeG2222, that your prayersG4335 be not hinderedG1465. 8Finally, [be] all of oneG3588 mind, sympathising, full of brotherly love, tender hearted, humble minded; 9not rendering evilG2556 for evilG2556, or railing for railing; but on the contraryG5121, blessingG2129 [others], because ye have been calledG2564 to this, that ye should inheritG2816 blessingG2129. 10For he that will loveG25 lifeG2222 and seeG3708 goodG18 daysG2250, let him cause his tongueG1100 to ceaseG3973 from evilG2556 and his lipsG5491 that they speakG2980 no guile. 11And let him avoid evilG2556, and do goodG18; let him seekG2212 peaceG1515 and pursueG1377 it; 12because [the] eyesG3788 of [the] LordG2962 [are] on [the] righteousG1342, and his earsG3775 towards their supplications; but [the] faceG4383 of [the] LordG2962 [is] against them that do evilG2556. 13And who shall injure you if ye have becomeG1096 imitators of that which [is] goodG18? 14But if alsoG2532 ye should sufferG3958 for righteousness' sakeG1223, blessed [are ye]; but be not afraidG5399 of their fearG5401, neither be troubledG5015; 15but sanctifyG37 [the] LordG2962 the ChristG5547 in your heartsG2588, and [be] alwaysG104 prepared to [give] an answer [to] every oneG3588 that asksG154 you to give an accountG3056 of the hopeG1680 that [is] in you, but with meekness and fearG5401; 16having a goodG18 conscienceG4893, that [as to that] in which they speakG2635 against you as evildoers, they may be ashamed who calumniate your goodG18 conversation in ChristG5547. 17For [it is] better, if the will of 3GodG2316 should will it, to sufferG3958 [as] well-doers than [as] evildoers; 18for ChristG5547 indeed has onceG530 suffered for sinsG266, [the] justG1342 for [the] unjustG94, that he might bringG4317 us to 4GodG2316; being putG2289 to deathG2289 in fleshG4561, but made aliveG2227 in [the] SpiritG4151, 19in which alsoG2532 goingG4198 he preachedG2784 to the spiritsG4151 [which are] in prisonG5438, 20heretofore disobedientG544, whenG3753 the longsuffering of 5GodG2316 waited in [the] daysG2250 of NoahG3575 while the arkG2787 wasG1510 preparing, into which fewG3641, that isG1510, eightG3638 soulsG5590, wereG1510 savedG1295 through waterG5204: 21which figure alsoG2532 nowG3568 savesG4982 you, [evenG2532] baptismG908, not a putting away of [the] filth of fleshG4561, but [the] demand as before 6GodG2316 of a goodG18 conscienceG4893, by [the] resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 22who isG1510 at [the] rightG1188 handG1188 of 7GodG2316, goneG4198 into heavenG3772, angelsG32 and authoritiesG1849 and powersG1411 beingG1510 subjectedG5293 to him.
