1 Peter 3:16-20
161and keepG2192 a 2goodG18 conscienceG4893 soG2443 thatG2443 in the thing in whichG3739 3you are slanderedG2635, thoseG3588 who disparageG1908 your goodG18 behaviorG391 in ChristG5547 will be putG2617 toG2617 shameG2617.
17For 4it is betterG2909, 5ifG1487 6GodG2316 should willG2309 it so, that you sufferG3958 for doingG15 whatG15 isG15 rightG15 ratherG2228 thanG2228 for doingG2554 whatG2554 isG2554 wrongG2554.
18For 7ChristG5547 alsoG2532 8sufferedG3958 for sinsG266 9onceG530 forG530 allG530 time, the justG1342 for the unjustG94, soG2443 thatG2443 He might 10bringG4317 us to GodG2316, having been putG2289 toG2289 deathG2289 11in the fleshG4561, but madeG2227 aliveG2227 12in the 13spiritG4151;
19in 14whichG3739 He alsoG2532 wentG4198 and madeG2784 proclamationG2784 to the spiritsG4151 in prisonG5438,
20who onceG4218 were disobedientG544 whenG3753 the 15patienceG3115 of GodG2316 16kept waitingG553 in the daysG2250 of NoahG3575, during the constructionG2680 of 17the arkG2787, in whichG3739 a fewG3641, that is, 18eightG3638 19personsG5590, were broughtG1295 safelyG1295 throughG1223 the waterG5204.
