Submission to Husbands

3Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives,G3668G1135G5293G2398G435G2443G1536G544G3056G2770G2532G2770G427G3056G2770G1223G391G1135 2when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear.G2029G5216G53G391G1722G5401 3Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel—G3739G2889G2077G3756G2077G1855G1708G2359G2532G4025G5553G2228G1745G2440 4rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.G235G2927G444G2588G1722G862G4239G2532G2272G4151G3739G2076G1799G2316G4185 5For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands,G1063G3779G4218G40G1135G2532G3588G1679G1909G2316G2885G1438G5293G2398G435 6as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.G5613G4564G5219G11G2564G846G2962G3739G5043G1096G15G2532G5399G3361G5399G3367G4423

A Word to Husbands

7Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.G3668G435G4924G2596G1108G632G5092G1134G5613G772G4632G2532G5613G4789G5485G2222G1519G5216G4335G1581G3361G1581

Called to Blessing

8Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous;G1161G5056G3956G3675G4835G5361G2155G5391 9not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.G3361G591G2556G473G2556G2228G3059G473G3059G1161G5121G2129G1492G3754G2564G1519G5124G2564G2443G2816G2127 10For "He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit.G1063G2309G25G2222G2532G1492G18G2250G3973G846G1100G575G2556G2532G846G5491G2980G3361G1388 11Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it.G1578G575G2556G2532G4160G18G2212G1515G2532G1377G846 12For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil."G3754G3788G2962G1909G1342G2532G846G3775G1519G846G1162G1161G4383G2962G1909G4160G2556

Suffering for Right and Wrong

13And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good?G2532G5101G2559G5209G1437G1096G3402G18 14But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled."G235G1499G3958G1223G1343G3107G1161G5399G3361G5399G846G5401G3366G5015 15But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;G1161G37G2962G2316G1722G5216G2588G1161G2092G104G4314G627G3956G154G5209G3056G4012G1680G1722G5213G3326G4240G2532G5401 16having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.G2192G18G4893G2443G1722G3739G2635G5216G5613G2555G2617G1908G5216G18G391G1722G5547 17For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.G1063G2909G1487G2307G2316G2309G3958G15G2228G2554

Christ’s Suffering and Ours

18For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,G3754G5547G2532G530G3958G4012G266G1342G5228G94G2443G4317G2248G2316G2289G3303G4561G1161G2227G4151 19by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison,G1722G3739G2532G4198G2784G4151G1722G5438 20who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.G4218G544G3753G530G3115G2316G1551G1722G2250G3575G2787G2680G1519G3739G3641G5123G3638G5590G1295G1223G5204 21There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,G499G3739G908G4982G2532G3568G4982G2248G3756G595G4509G4561G235G1906G18G4893G1519G2316G1223G386G2424G5547 22who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.G3739G4198G1519G3772G2076G1722G1188G2316G32G2532G1849G2532G1411G5293G846
