1 Peter 3:3-13

31Your adornmentG2889 must not be merely externalG1855--braidingG1708 the hairG2359, and wearingG4025 goldG5553 jewelryG5553, orG2228 puttingG1745 on dressesG2440; 4but let it be 2the 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, 3who hopedG1679 in GodG2316, used to adornG2885 themselvesG1438, being submissiveG5293 to their ownG2398 husbandsG435; 6justG5613 as SarahG4564 obeyedG5219 AbrahamG11, 4callingG2564 him lordG2962, and you have becomeG1096 her childrenG5043 if you doG15 what is rightG15 56withoutG2532G3361 being frightenedG5399 by anyG3367 fearG4423.

77You husbandsG435 in the sameG3668 wayG3668, liveG4924 with your wives in an understandingG1108 wayG1108, as with 89someoneG4632 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.

810To sumG5056 up, 11allG3956 of you be harmoniousG3675, sympatheticG4835, 12brotherlyG5361, 13kindheartedG2155, and 14humbleG5012 in spiritG5012; 915not returningG591 evilG2556 for evilG2556 orG2228 16insultG3059 for insultG3059, but 17givingG2127 a 18blessingG2127 insteadG5121; for 19you were calledG2564 for the veryG3778 purpose that you might 20inheritG2816 a blessingG2129. 10For, “21The oneG3588 who desiresG2309 lifeG2222, to loveG25 and seeG3708 goodG18 daysG2250, Must keepG3973 his tongueG1100 from evilG2556 and his lipsG5491 from speakingG2980 deceitG1388.1122He must turnG1578 awayG1578 from evilG2556 and doG4160 goodG18; He must seekG2212 peaceG1515 and pursueG1377 it.1223For 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.”

1324WhoG5101 is 25there to harmG2559 you ifG1437 you proveG1096 zealousG2207 for whatG18 is goodG18?
