1 Peter 3:1
Likewise the wives, being subordinate to their own husbands, so that even if any are disobedient to the word, they will be gained without a word by the behavior of the wives,
1 Peter 3:2
observing, in fear, your pure behavior.
1 Peter 3:3
Of which let it not be the outward world of braiding of hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on apparel,
1 Peter 3:4
but the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible, of the meek and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.
1 Peter 3:5
For this way formerly also, the holy women, trusting in God, adorned themselves, being subordinate to their own husbands,
1 Peter 3:6
as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children ye became, doing good, and not being afraid of anything fearful.
1 Peter 3:7
Likewise the husbands living together knowledgeably, as with a weaker vessel, apportioning worth to the female as also joint-heirs of the grace of life, for your prayers not to be hindered.
1 Peter 3:8
And finally, all be like-minded, sympathetic, brother-loving, compassionate, friendly,
1 Peter 3:9
not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling, but instead giving praise, knowing that ye were called for this, so that ye might inherit a blessing.
1 Peter 3:10
For he who wants to love life, and see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips not to speak deceit.
1 Peter 3:11
Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
1 Peter 3:12
Because the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, and his ears to their supplication, but the face of the Lord is against men who do evil things.
1 Peter 3:13
And who is he who will harm you, if ye become imitators of the good?
1 Peter 3:14
But even if ye should suffer because of righteousness, ye are blessed. But do not fear their terror nor be shaken,
1 Peter 3:15
but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. And always be ready for a defense to every man who asks you a word about the hope in you, with meekness and fear.
1 Peter 3:16
Having a good conscience, so that, in what they speak against you as of evildoers, they may be ashamed, those who revile your good behavior in Christ.
1 Peter 3:17
For it is better to suffer doing good, if the will of God desires, than for doing evil.
1 Peter 3:18
Because Christ also once suffered for sins, a righteous man for unrighteous men, so that he might bring you to God. Having indeed been killed in flesh, but made alive in spirit,
1 Peter 3:19
in which also, having gone, he preached to the spirits in prison
1 Peter 3:20
who were disobedient formerly, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah who prepared an ark in which a few, that is, eight souls were saved through water.
1 Peter 3:21
Which counterpart-immersion-now also saves us, not the putting away of filth of flesh, but an appeal of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
1 Peter 3:22
who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, agents, and positions of authority, and powers having been subordinated to him.
