1 Peter 3:3-13

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?
