1
In the same way,
you wives,
be submissive
to your own
husbands
so
that even
if
any
of them are di
so
bedient
to the word,
they may be won
without
a word
by the behavior
of their wives,
2
as they observe
your chaste
and respectful
behavior.
3
Your ad
or
nment
must not be merely external--
braiding
the hair,
and wearing
gold jewelry,
or
putting
on dresses;
4
but 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.
5
For in this way
in former times
the holy
women
also,
who hoped
in God,
used to adorn
themselves,
being submissive
to their own
husbands;
6
just
as Sarah
obeyed
Abraham,
calling
him lord,
and you have become
her children
if you do what is right
without
being frightened
by any
fear.
7
You husbands
in the same way,
live
with your wives in an understanding way,
as with
so
meone
weaker,
since she is a woman;
and show
her honor
as a fellow heir
of the grace
of life,
so
that your prayers
will not be hindered.
8
To sum
up, all
of you be harmonious,
sympathetic,
brotherly,
kindhearted,
and humble in spirit;
9
not returning
evil
f
or
evil
or
insult
f
or
insult
,
but giving a blessing
instead;
f
or
you were called
f
or
the very
purpose that you might inherit
a blessing.
10
For, "THE ONE
WHO DESIRES
LIFE,
TO LOVE
AND SEE
GOOD
DAYS,
MUST KEEP
HIS TONGUE
FROM EVIL
AND HIS LIPS
FROM SPEAKING
DECEIT.
11
"HE MUST TURN AWAY
FROM EVIL
AND DO
GOOD;
HE MUST SEEK
PEACE
AND PURSUE
IT.
12
"FOR THE EYES
OF THE LORD
ARE TOWARD
THE RIGHTEOUS,
AND HIS EARS
ATTEND TO THEIR PRAYER,
BUT THE FACE
OF THE LORD
IS AGAINST
THOSE WHO DO
EVIL."
13
Who
is there to harm
you if
you prove
zealous
for what is good?
14
But even
if
you should suffer
for the sake
of righteousness,
you are blessed.
AND DO NOT FEAR
THEIR INTIMIDATION,
AND DO NOT BE TROUBLED,
15
but 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;
16
and keep
a good
conscience
so
that in the thing in which
you are slandered,
those
who revile
your good
behavior
in Christ
will be put to shame.
17
For it is better,
if
God
should will
it so, that you suffer
for doing what is right
rather than
for doing what is wrong.
18
For Christ
also
died
for sins
once for all,
the just
for the unjust,
so
that He might bring
us to God,
having been put to death
in the flesh,
but made alive
in the spirit;
19
in which
also
He went
and made proclamation
to the spirits
now in prison,
20
who 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.
21
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,
22
who
is at the right hand
of God,
having gone
into heaven,
after angels
and authorities
and powers
had been subjected
to Him.
