Wives and Husbands

3Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives,G3668G1135G5293G2398G435G2443G1536G544G3056G2770G2532G2770G427G3056G2770G1223G391G1135 2when they see your respectful and pure conduct.G2029G5216G53G391G1722G5401 3Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear—G3739G2889G2077G3756G2077G1855G1708G2359G2532G4025G5553G2228G1745G2440 4but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.G235G2927G444G2588G1722G862G4239G2532G2272G4151G3739G2076G1799G2316G4185 5For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands,G1063G3779G4218G40G1135G2532G3588G1679G1909G2316G2885G1438G5293G2398G435 6as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.G5613G4564G5219G11G2564G846G2962G3739G5043G1096G15G2532G5399G3361G5399G3367G4423 7Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.G3668G435G4924G2596G1108G632G5092G1134G5613G772G4632G2532G5613G4789G5485G2222G1519G5216G4335G1581G3361G1581

Suffering for Righteousness’ Sake

8Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.G1161G5056G3956G3675G4835G5361G2155G5391 9Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.G3361G591G2556G473G2556G2228G3059G473G3059G1161G5121G2129G1492G3754G2564G1519G5124G2564G2443G2816G2127 10For "Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep 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 prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."G3754G3788G2962G1909G1342G2532G846G3775G1519G846G1162G1161G4383G2962G1909G4160G2556 13Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good?G2532G5101G2559G5209G1437G1096G3402G18 14But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled,G235G1499G3958G1223G1343G3107G1161G5399G3361G5399G846G5401G3366G5015 15but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,G1161G37G2962G2316G1722G5216G2588G1161G2092G104G4314G627G3956G154G5209G3056G4012G1680G1722G5213G3326G4240G2532G5401 16having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.G2192G18G4893G2443G1722G3739G2635G5216G5613G2555G2617G1908G5216G18G391G1722G5547 17For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.G1063G2909G1487G2307G2316G2309G3958G15G2228G2554 18For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,G3754G5547G2532G530G3958G4012G266G1342G5228G94G2443G4317G2248G2316G2289G3303G4561G1161G2227G4151 19in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison,G1722G3739G2532G4198G2784G4151G1722G5438 20because they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water.G4218G544G3753G530G3115G2316G1551G1722G2250G3575G2787G2680G1519G3739G3641G5123G3638G5590G1295G1223G5204 21Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,G499G3739G908G4982G2532G3568G4982G2248G3756G595G4509G4561G235G1906G18G4893G1519G2316G1223G386G2424G5547 22who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.G3739G4198G1519G3772G2076G1722G1188G2316G32G2532G1849G2532G1411G5293G846
