Godly Living

11In the sameG3668 wayG3668, you wivesG1135, 2be submissiveG5293 to your ownG2398 husbandsG435 soG2443 that evenG2532 ifG1487 anyG5100 of them are disobedientG544 to the wordG3056, they may be 3wonG2770 withoutG427 a wordG3056 by the behaviorG391 of their wivesG1135, 2as they observeG2029 your chasteG53 and 4respectfulG5401 behaviorG391. 35Your adornmentG2889 must not be merely externalG1855--braidingG1708 the hairG2359, and wearingG4025 goldG5553 jewelryG5553, orG2228 puttingG1745 on dressesG2440; 4but let it be 6the hiddenG2927 personG444 of the heartG2588, with the imperishableG862 qualityG862 of a gentleG4239 and quietG2272 spiritG4151, whichG3739 is preciousG4185 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316. 5For in thisG3779 wayG3779 in formerG4218 timesG4218 the holyG40 womenG1135 alsoG2532, 7who hopedG1679 in GodG2316, used to adornG2885 themselvesG1438, being submissiveG5293 to their ownG2398 husbandsG435; 6justG5613 as SarahG4564 obeyedG5219 AbrahamG11, 8callingG2564 him lordG2962, and you have becomeG1096 her childrenG5043 if you doG15 what is rightG15 910withoutG2532G3361 being frightenedG5399 by anyG3367 fearG4423.

711You husbandsG435 in the sameG3668 wayG3668, liveG4924 with your wives in an understandingG1108 wayG1108, as with 1213someoneG4632 weakerG772, since she is a womanG1134; and showG632 her honorG5092 as a fellowG4789 heirG4789 of the graceG5485 of lifeG2222, soG1519 that your prayersG4335 will not be hinderedG1465.

814To sumG5056 up, 15allG3956 of you be harmoniousG3675, sympatheticG4835, 16brotherlyG5361, 17kindheartedG2155, and 18humbleG5012 in spiritG5012; 919not returningG591 evilG2556 for evilG2556 orG2228 20insultG3059 for insultG3059, but 21givingG2127 a 22blessingG2127 insteadG5121; for 23you were calledG2564 for the veryG3778 purpose that you might 24inheritG2816 a blessingG2129. 10For, “25The oneG3588 who desiresG2309 lifeG2222, to loveG25 and seeG3708 goodG18 daysG2250, Must keepG3973 his tongueG1100 from evilG2556 and his lipsG5491 from speakingG2980 deceitG1388.1126He must turnG1578 awayG1578 from evilG2556 and doG4160 goodG18; He must seekG2212 peaceG1515 and pursueG1377 it.1227For the eyesG3788 of the LordG2962 are towardG1909 the righteousG1342, And His earsG3775 attend to their prayerG1162, But the faceG4383 of the LordG2962 is againstG1909 those who doG4160 evilG2556.”

1328WhoG5101 is 29there to harmG2559 you ifG1437 you proveG1096 zealousG2207 for whatG18 is goodG18? 14But evenG2532 ifG1487 you should 30sufferG3958 for the sakeG1223 of righteousnessG1343, 31you 32are blessedG3107. 33And do not fearG5399 their 34intimidationG5401, and do not be troubledG5015, 15but 35sanctifyG37 36ChristG5547 as LordG2962 in your heartsG2588, alwaysG104 being readyG2092 37to make a 38defenseG627 to everyoneG3956 who asksG154 you to give an accountG3056 for the 39hopeG1680 that is in you, yetG235 40with gentlenessG4240 and 4142reverenceG5401; 1643and keepG2192 a 44goodG18 conscienceG4893 soG2443 that in the thing in whichG3739 45you are slanderedG2635, thoseG3588 who revileG1908 your goodG18 behaviorG391 in ChristG5547 will be putG2617 to shameG2617. 17For 46it is betterG2909, 47ifG1487 48GodG2316 should willG2309 it so, that you sufferG3958 for doingG15 what is rightG15 ratherG2228 thanG2228 for doingG2554 what is wrongG2554. 18For 49ChristG5547 alsoG2532 diedG599 for sinsG266 50onceG530 for allG530, the justG1342 for the unjustG94, soG2443 that He might 51bringG4317 us to GodG2316, having been putG2289 to deathG2289 52in the fleshG4561, but madeG2227 aliveG2227 53in the 54spiritG4151; 19in 55whichG3739 alsoG2532 He wentG4198 and madeG2784 proclamationG2784 to the spiritsG4151 now in prisonG5438, 20who onceG4218 were disobedientG544, whenG3753 the 56patienceG3115 of GodG2316 57kept waitingG553 in the daysG2250 of NoahG3575, during the constructionG2680 of 58the arkG2787, in whichG3739 a fewG3641, that is, 59eightG3638 60personsG5590, were broughtG1295 safelyG1295 throughG1223 the 61waterG5204. 2162CorrespondingG499 to that, baptismG908 nowG3568 savesG4982 you--63not the removalG595 of dirtG4509 from the fleshG4561, but an appealG1906 to GodG2316 64for a 65goodG18 conscienceG4893--throughG1223 66the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 2267whoG3739 is at the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316, 68having goneG4198 into heavenG3772, 69after angelsG32 and authoritiesG1849 and powersG1411 had been subjectedG5293 to Him.
