1 Peter 3:16-20
161and keepG2192 a 2goodG18 conscienceG4893 soG2443 that in the thing in whichG3739 3you are slanderedG2635, thoseG3588 who revileG1908 your goodG18 behaviorG391 in ChristG5547 will be putG2617 to shameG2617.
17For 4it is betterG2909, 5ifG1487 6GodG2316 should willG2309 it so, that you sufferG3958 for doingG15 what is rightG15 ratherG2228 thanG2228 for doingG2554 what is wrongG2554.
18For 7ChristG5547 alsoG2532 diedG599 for sinsG266 8onceG530 for allG530, the justG1342 for the unjustG94, soG2443 that He might 9bringG4317 us to GodG2316, having been putG2289 to deathG2289 10in the fleshG4561, but madeG2227 aliveG2227 11in the 12spiritG4151;
19in 13whichG3739 alsoG2532 He wentG4198 and madeG2784 proclamationG2784 to the spiritsG4151 now in prisonG5438,
20who onceG4218 were disobedientG544, whenG3753 the 14patienceG3115 of GodG2316 15kept waitingG553 in the daysG2250 of NoahG3575, during the constructionG2680 of 16the arkG2787, in whichG3739 a fewG3641, that is, 17eightG3638 18personsG5590, were broughtG1295 safelyG1295 throughG1223 the 19waterG5204.
