Wives and Husbands

3In a similar way, you wives must submit yourselves to your husbands so that, even if some of them refuse to obey the word, they may be won over without a word through your conduct as wivesG3668G1135G5293G2398G435G2443G1536G544G3056G2770G2532G2770G427G3056G2770G1223G391G1135
2when they see your pure and reverent lives.G2029G5216G53G391G1722G5401
3Your beauty should not be an external one, consisting of braided hair or the wearing of gold ornaments and dresses.G3739G2889G2077G3756G2077G1855G1708G2359G2532G4025G5553G2228G1745G2440
4Instead, it should be the inner disposition of the heart, consisting in the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which God values greatly.G235G2927G444G2588G1722G862G4239G2532G2272G4151G3739G2076G1799G2316G4185
5After all, this is how holy women who set their hope on God used to make themselves beautiful in the past. They submitted themselves to their husbands,G1063G3779G4218G40G1135G2532G3588G1679G1909G2316G2885G1438G5293G2398G435
6just as Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. You have become her daughters by doing good and by not letting anything terrify you.G5613G4564G5219G11G2564G846G2962G3739G5043G1096G15G2532G5399G3361G5399G3367G4423
7In a similar way, you husbands must live with your wives in an understanding manner, as with a most delicate partner. Honor them as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing may interfere with your prayers.G3668G435G4924G2596G1108G632G5092G1134G5613G772G4632G2532G5613G4789G5485G2222G1519G5216G4335G1581G3361G1581

When You are Wronged

8Finally, all of you must live in harmony, be sympathetic, love as brothers, and be compassionate and humble.G1161G5056G3956G3675G4835G5361G2155G5391
9Do not pay others back evil for evil or insult for insult. Instead, keep blessing them, because you were called to inherit a blessing.G3361G591G2556G473G2556G2228G3059G473G3059G1161G5121G2129G1492G3754G2564G1519G5124G2564G2443G2816G2127
10"For the person who wants to love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.G1063G2309G25G2222G2532G1492G18G2250G3973G846G1100G575G2556G2532G846G5491G2980G3361G1388
11He must turn away from evil and do good. He must seek peace and pursue it.G1578G575G2556G2532G4160G18G2212G1515G2532G1377G846
12For the Lord watches the righteous, and he pays attention to their prayers. But the Lord opposes those who do wrong."G3754G3788G2962G1909G1342G2532G846G3775G1519G846G1162G1161G4383G2962G1909G4160G2556
13Who will harm you if you are devoted to doing what is good -G2532G5101G2559G5209G1437G1096G3402G18
14But even if you should suffer for doing what is right, you are blessed. "Never be afraid of their threats, and never get upset.G235G1499G3958G1223G1343G3107G1161G5399G3361G5399G846G5401G3366G5015
15Instead, exalt the Messiah" as Lord in your lives. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you to explain the hope you have.G1161G37G2962G2316G1722G5216G2588G1161G2092G104G4314G627G3956G154G5209G3056G4012G1680G1722G5213G3326G4240G2532G5401
16But do this gently and respectfully, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak evil of your good conduct in the Messiah will be ashamed of slandering you.G2192G18G4893G2443G1722G3739G2635G5216G5613G2555G2617G1908G5216G18G391G1722G5547
17After all, if it is the will of God, it is better to suffer for doing right than for doing wrong.G1063G2909G1487G2307G2316G2309G3958G15G2228G2554
18For the Messiah also suffered for sins once for all, an innocent person for the guilty, so that he could bring you to God. He was put to death in a mortal body but was brought to life by the Spirit,G3754G5547G2532G530G3958G4012G266G1342G5228G94G2443G4317G2248G2316G2289G3303G4561G1161G2227G4151
19in which he went and made a proclamation to those imprisoned spiritsG1722G3739G2532G4198G2784G4151G1722G5438
20who disobeyed long ago in the days of Noah, when God waited patiently while the ark was being built. In it a few, that is, eight persons, were saved by water.G4218G544G3753G530G3115G2316G1551G1722G2250G3575G2787G2680G1519G3739G3641G5123G3638G5590G1295G1223G5204
21Baptism, which is symbolized by that water, now saves you also, not by removing dirt from the body, but by asking God for a clear conscience based on the resurrection of Jesus, the Messiah,G499G3739G908G4982G2532G3568G4982G2248G3756G595G4509G4561G235G1906G18G4893G1519G2316G1223G386G2424G5547
22who has gone to heaven and is at the right hand of God, where angels, authorities, and powers have been made subject to him.G3739G4198G1519G3772G2076G1722G1188G2316G32G2532G1849G2532G1411G5293G846
