3In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any [of them] are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives,G3668G1135G5293G2398G435G2443G1536G544G3056G2770G2532G2770G427G3056G2770G1223G391G11352as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior.G2029G5216G53G391G1722G54013And let not your adornment be [merely] external— braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses;G3739G2889G2077G3756G2077G1855G1708G2359G2532G4025G5553G2228G1745G24404but [let it be] the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.G235G2927G444G2588G1722G862G4239G2532G2272G4151G3739G2076G1799G2316G41855For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands.G1063G3779G4218G40G1135G2532G3588G1679G1909G2316G2885G1438G5293G2398G4356Thus Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.G5613G4564G5219G11G2564G846G2962G3739G5043G1096G15G2532G5399G3361G5399G3367G44237You husbands likewise, live with [your wives] in an understanding way, as with a weaker vessel, since she is a woman; and grant her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.G3668G435G4924G2596G1108G632G5092G1134G5613G772G4632G2532G5613G4789G5485G2222G1519G5216G4335G1581G3361G15818To sum up, let all be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit;G1161G5056G3956G3675G4835G5361G2155G53919not returning evil for evil, or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.G3361G591G2556G473G2556G2228G3059G473G3059G1161G5121G2129G1492G3754G2564G1519G5124G2564G2443G2816G212710For, "LET HIM WHO MEANS TO LOVE LIFE AND SEE GOOD DAYS REFRAIN HIS TONGUE FROM EVIL AND HIS LIPS FROM SPEAKING GUILE.G1063G2309G25G2222G2532G1492G18G2250G3973G846G1100G575G2556G2532G846G5491G2980G3361G138811"AND LET HIM TURN AWAY FROM EVIL AND DO GOOD; LET HIM SEEK PEACE AND PURSUE IT.G1578G575G2556G2532G4160G18G2212G1515G2532G1377G84612"FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE UPON THE RIGHTEOUS, AND HIS EARS ATTEND TO THEIR PRAYER, BUT THE FACE OF THE LORD IS AGAINST THOSE WHO DO EVIL."G3754G3788G2962G1909G1342G2532G846G3775G1519G846G1162G1161G4383G2962G1909G4160G255613And who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good?G2532G5101G2559G5209G1437G1096G3402G1814But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, [you are] blessed. AND DO NOT FEAR THEIR INTIMIDATION, AND DO NOT BE TROUBLED,G235G1499G3958G1223G1343G3107G1161G5399G3361G5399G846G5401G3366G501515but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always [being] ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;G1161G37G2962G2316G1722G5216G2588G1161G2092G104G4314G627G3956G154G5209G3056G4012G1680G1722G5213G3326G4240G2532G540116and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.G2192G18G4893G2443G1722G3739G2635G5216G5613G2555G2617G1908G5216G18G391G1722G554717For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong.G1063G2909G1487G2307G2316G2309G3958G15G2228G255418For Christ also died for sins once for all, [the] just for [the] unjust, in order that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;G3754G5547G2532G530G3958G4012G266G1342G5228G94G2443G4317G2248G2316G2289G3303G4561G1161G2227G415119in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits [now] in prison,G1722G3739G2532G4198G2784G4151G1722G543820who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through [the] water.G4218G544G3753G530G3115G2316G1551G1722G2250G3575G2787G2680G1519G3739G3641G5123G3638G5590G1295G1223G520421And corresponding to that, baptism now saves you— not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience— through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,G499G3739G908G4982G2532G3568G4982G2248G3756G595G4509G4561G235G1906G18G4893G1519G2316G1223G386G2424G554722who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.G3739G4198G1519G3772G2076G1722G1188G2316G32G2532G1849G2532G1411G5293G846
