1LikewiseG3668, ye wivesG3588G1135, be in subjectionG5293 to your ownG2398 husbandsG435; thatG2443, ifG1487 anyG5100 obey notG544 the wordG3588G3056, they alsoG2532 mayG2770 withoutG427 the wordG3056 be wonG2770 byG1223 the conversation of the wivesG3588G1135; 2While they beholdG2029 yourG4771 chasteG53 conversationG391 coupled withG1722 fearG5401. 3WhoseG3739 adorningG2889 let itG1510 notG3756 beG1510 that outwardG1855 adorning of plaitingG1708 the hairG2359, andG2532 of wearingG4025 of goldG5553, orG2228 of putting onG1745 of apparelG2440; 4ButG235 let it be the hiddenG2927 manG444 of the heartG3588G2588, inG1722 that which is not corruptibleG862, even the ornament of a meekG4239 andG2532 quietG2272 spiritG4151, whichG3739 isG1510 in the sightG1799 of GodG3588G2316 of great priceG4185. 5ForG1063 after this mannerG3779 in the old timeG4218 the holyG40 womenG1135 alsoG2532, who trustedG1679 inG1909 GodG3588G2316, adornedG2885 themselvesG1438, being in subjectionG5293 unto their ownG2398 husbandsG435: 6Even asG5613 SarahG4564 obeyedG5219 AbrahamG11, callingG2564 himG846 lordG2962: whoseG3739 daughtersG5043 ye areG1096, as long as ye do wellG15, andG2532 areG5399 notG3361 afraidG5399 with anyG3367 amazementG4423. 7LikewiseG3668, ye husbandsG3588G435, dwell withG4924 them according toG2596 knowledgeG1108, givingG632 honourG5092 unto the wifeG3588G1134, asG5613 unto the weakerG772 vesselG4632, andG2532 asG5613 being heirs togetherG4789 of the graceG5485 of lifeG2222; thatG1519 yourG4771 prayersG3588G4335 beG1581 notG3361 hinderedG1581. 8

FinallyG5056, be ye allG3956 of one mindG3675, having compassion one of anotherG4835, love as brethrenG5361, be pitifulG2155, be courteousG5391: 9NotG3361 renderingG591 evilG2556 forG473 evilG2556, orG2228 railingG3059 forG473 railingG3059: butG1161 contrariwiseG5121 blessingG2127; knowingG1492 thatG3754 ye areG2564 thereuntoG1519 calledG2564, thatG2443 ye should inheritG2816 a blessingG2129. 10ForG1063 he that willG2309 loveG25 lifeG2222, andG2532 seeG3708 goodG18 daysG2250, let him refrainG3973 hisG846 tongueG3588G1100 fromG575 evilG2556, andG2532 hisG846 lipsG5491 that they speakG2980 noG3361 guileG1388: 11Let him eschewG1578 evilG2556, andG2532 doG4160 goodG18; let him seekG2212 peaceG1515, andG2532 ensueG1377 itG846. 12ForG3754 the eyesG3588G3788 of the LordG2962 are overG1909 the righteousG1342, andG2532 hisG846 earsG3775 are open untoG1519 theirG846 prayersG1162: butG1161 the faceG4383 of the LordG2962 is againstG1909 them that doG4160 evilG2556. 13AndG2532 whoG5101 is he that will harmG2559 youG4771, ifG1437 ye beG1096 followersG3402 of that which is goodG18? 14

ButG235 andG2532 ifG1487 ye sufferG3958 forG1223 righteousness’ sakeG1343, happyG3107 are ye: andG1161 beG5399 notG3361 afraidG5399 of theirG846 terrorG5401, neitherG3366 be troubledG5015; 15ButG1161 sanctifyG37 the LordG2962 GodG3588G2316 inG1722 yourG4771 heartsG3588G2588: andG1161 be readyG2092 alwaysG104 toG4314 give an answerG627 to every manG3956 that askethG154 youG4771 a reasonG3056 ofG4012 the hopeG1680 thatG3588 is inG1722 youG4771 withG3326 meeknessG4240 andG2532 fearG5401: 16HavingG2192 a goodG18 conscienceG4893; thatG2443, whereasG1722 they speak evilG2635 of youG4771, asG5613 of evildoersG2555, they may be ashamedG2617 that falsely accuseG1908 yourG4771 goodG18 conversationG391 inG1722 ChristG5547. 17ForG1063 it is betterG2909, ifG1487 the willG3588G2307 of GodG3588G2316 be soG2309, that ye sufferG3958 for well doingG15, thanG2228 for evil doingG2554. 18ForG3754 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 hathG3958 onceG530 sufferedG3958 forG4012 sinsG266, the justG1342 forG5228 the unjustG94, thatG2443 he might bringG4317 usG1473 to GodG3588G2316, being put to deathG2289 in the fleshG4561, butG1161 quickenedG2227 by the SpiritG3588G4151: 19

ByG1722 whichG3739 alsoG2532 he wentG4198 and preachedG2784 unto the spiritsG4151 inG1722 prisonG5438; 20Which sometimeG4218 were disobedientG544, whenG3753 onceG530 the longsufferingG3115 of GodG3588G2316 waitedG1551 inG1722 the daysG2250 of NoahG3575, while the arkG2787 was a preparingG2680, whereinG1519 fewG3641, thatG3778 isG1510, eightG3638 soulsG5590 were savedG1295 byG1223 waterG5204.

21The like figureG499 whereuntoG3739 even baptismG908 dothG4982 alsoG2532 nowG3568 saveG4982 usG1473 (notG3756 the putting awayG595 of the filthG4509 of the fleshG4561, butG235 the answerG1906 of a goodG18 conscienceG4893 towardG1519 GodG2316,) byG1223 the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547: 22WhoG3739 is goneG4198 intoG1519 heavenG3772, and isG1510 onG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG3588G2316; angelsG32 andG2532 authoritiesG1849 andG2532 powersG1411 being made subjectG5293 unto himG846.
