1Peter 3
Today's New International Version Help
3Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives,G3668G1135G5293G2398G435G2443G1536G544G3056G2770G2532G2770G427G3056G2770G1223G391G1135
2when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.G2029G5216G53G391G1722G5401
3Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes.G3739G2889G2077G3756G2077G1855G1708G2359G2532G4025G5553G2228G1745G2440
4Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.G235G2927G444G2588G1722G862G4239G2532G2272G4151G3739G2076G1799G2316G4185
5For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands,G1063G3779G4218G40G1135G2532G3588G1679G1909G2316G2885G1438G5293G2398G435
6like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.G5613G4564G5219G11G2564G846G2962G3739G5043G1096G15G2532G5399G3361G5399G3367G4423
7Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.G3668G435G4924G2596G1108G632G5092G1134G5613G772G4632G2532G5613G4789G5485G2222G1519G5216G4335G1581G3361G1581
8Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.G1161G5056G3956G3675G4835G5361G2155G5391
9Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.G3361G591G2556G473G2556G2228G3059G473G3059G1161G5121G2129G1492G3754G2564G1519G5124G2564G2443G2816G2127
10For, "Whoever among you would love life and see good days must keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech.G1063G2309G25G2222G2532G1492G18G2250G3973G846G1100G575G2556G2532G846G5491G2980G3361G1388
11Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.G1578G575G2556G2532G4160G18G2212G1515G2532G1377G846
12For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."G3754G3788G2962G1909G1342G2532G846G3775G1519G846G1162G1161G4383G2962G1909G4160G2556
13Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?G2532G5101G2559G5209G1437G1096G3402G18
14But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened."G235G1499G3958G1223G1343G3107G1161G5399G3361G5399G846G5401G3366G5015
15But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,G1161G37G2962G2316G1722G5216G2588G1161G2092G104G4314G627G3956G154G5209G3056G4012G1680G1722G5213G3326G4240G2532G5401
16keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.G2192G18G4893G2443G1722G3739G2635G5216G5613G2555G2617G1908G5216G18G391G1722G5547
17It is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.G1063G2909G1487G2307G2316G2309G3958G15G2228G2554
18For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit.G3754G5547G2532G530G3958G4012G266G1342G5228G94G2443G4317G2248G2316G2289G3303G4561G1161G2227G4151
19In that state he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits—G1722G3739G2532G4198G2784G4151G1722G5438
20to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water,G4218G544G3753G530G3115G2316G1551G1722G2250G3575G2787G2680G1519G3739G3641G5123G3638G5590G1295G1223G5204
21and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,G499G3739G908G4982G2532G3568G4982G2248G3756G595G4509G4561G235G1906G18G4893G1519G2316G1223G386G2424G5547
22who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.G3739G4198G1519G3772G2076G1722G1188G2316G32G2532G1849G2532G1411G5293G846
