3:1 Likewise, ye wives, [be] in subjection to your own
husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without
the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
3:2 While they behold your chaste conversation [coupled] with
fear.
3:3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward [adorning] of
plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of
apparel;
3:4 But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that
which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and
quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
3:5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women
also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in
subjection unto their own husbands:
3:6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose
daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid
with any amazement.
3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with [them] according to
knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker
vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that
your prayers be not hindered.
3:8 Finally, [be ye] all of one mind, having compassion one
of another, love as brethren, [be] pitiful, [be] courteous:
3:9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but
contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called,
that ye should inherit a blessing.
3:10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him
refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no
guile:
3:11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace,
and ensue it.
3:12 For the eyes of the Lord [are] over the righteous, and
his ears [are open] unto their prayers: but the face of the
Lord [is] against them that do evil.
3:13 And who [is] he that will harm you, if ye be followers
of that which is good?
3:14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy [are
ye]: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be] ready
always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a
reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
3:16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil
of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely
accuse your good conversation in Christ.
3:17 For [it is] better, if the will of God be so, that ye
suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just
for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to
death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in
prison;
3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the
longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark
was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved
by water.
3:21 The like figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also now
save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but
the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the
resurrection of Jesus Christ:
3:22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of
God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto
him.
