1Peter 3

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,G3668G1135G5293G2398G435G2443G1536G544G3056G2770G2532G2770G427G3056G2770G1223G391G11352when they see your respectful and pure conduct.G2029G5216G53G391G1722G54013Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear—G3739G2889G2077G3756G2077G1855G1708G2359G2532G4025G5553G2228G1745G24404but 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.G235G2927G444G2588G1722G862G4239G2532G2272G4151G3739G2076G1799G2316G41855For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands,G1063G3779G4218G40G1135G2532G3588G1679G1909G2316G2885G1438G5293G2398G4356as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.G5613G4564G5219G11G2564G846G2962G3739G5043G1096G15G2532G5399G3361G5399G3367G44237Likewise, 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.G1161G5056G3956G3675G4835G5361G2155G53919Do 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.G3361G591G2556G473G2556G2228G3059G473G3059G1161G5121G2129G1492G3754G2564G1519G5124G2564G2443G2816G212710For "Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit;G1063G2309G25G2222G2532G1492G18G2250G3973G846G1100G575G2556G2532G846G5491G2980G3361G138811let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.G1578G575G2556G2532G4160G18G2212G1515G2532G1377G84612For 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."G3754G3788G2962G1909G1342G2532G846G3775G1519G846G1162G1161G4383G2962G1909G4160G255613Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good?G2532G5101G2559G5209G1437G1096G3402G1814But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled,G235G1499G3958G1223G1343G3107G1161G5399G3361G5399G846G5401G3366G501515but 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,G1161G37G2962G2316G1722G5216G2588G1161G2092G104G4314G627G3956G154G5209G3056G4012G1680G1722G5213G3326G4240G2532G540116having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.G2192G18G4893G2443G1722G3739G2635G5216G5613G2555G2617G1908G5216G18G391G1722G554717For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.G1063G2909G1487G2307G2316G2309G3958G15G2228G255418For 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,G3754G5547G2532G530G3958G4012G266G1342G5228G94G2443G4317G2248G2316G2289G3303G4561G1161G2227G415119in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison,G1722G3739G2532G4198G2784G4151G1722G543820because 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.G4218G544G3753G530G3115G2316G1551G1722G2250G3575G2787G2680G1519G3739G3641G5123G3638G5590G1295G1223G520421Baptism, 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,G499G3739G908G4982G2532G3568G4982G2248G3756G595G4509G4561G235G1906G18G4893G1519G2316G1223G386G2424G554722who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.G3739G4198G1519G3772G2076G1722G1188G2316G32G2532G1849G2532G1411G5293G846
