1 In like manner the wives, submitting yourselves to the own husbands, so that even if some are disobedient to the word, through the of the wives conduct without a word they may be gained,
2 having seen the in fear pure conduct of you.
3 Of whom let be not the outside, of braiding of hairs and placing around of golden chains or wearing of clothes, adorning;
4 but the hidden of the heart man, with the incorruptible of the meek and quiet spirit, which is in presence of the God very precious.
5 Thus for formerly also the holy women, those hoping in the God, adorned themselves, submitting to the own husbands;
6 as Sarah hearkened to the Abraham, lord, him calling, of her you became children, doing good and not fearing not one terror.
7 The husbands like manner, dwelling with according to knowledge as a weaker vessel with the female, bestowing honor as also being jointheirs of gracious gift of life, in order that not to be hindered the prayers of you.
8 The but end, all of like mind, sympathizing ones, lovers of brethren, compassionate ones, humbleminded ones,
9 not returning evil on account of evil, or reviling on account of of reviling; on the contrary but invoking blessings; knowing, that for this you were called, so that a blessing you may inherit.
10 The for one wishing life to love, and to see days good let him restrain the tongue of himself from evil, and lips of himself of the not to speak deceit;
11 let him turn away from evil, and let him do good; let him seek peace, and let him pursue her.
12 Because the eyes of Lord on just ones, and ears of him towards prayer of them; a face but of Lord against those doing evil.
13 And who the one will be injuring you if of the good imitators you become?
14 But if even you suffer because of righteousness, happy ones. The but fear of them not do you fear, neither should you troubled;
15 Lord but the God do you sanctify in the hearts of you; prepared and always with a defence to all to the one asking you an account concerning the in you hope, with meekness and fear;
16 a conscience having good, so that in what they may speak against you as of evildoers, they may be ashamed those slandering of you the good in Anointed conduct.
17 Better for doing good, if may will the will of the God, to suffer, or doing evil;
18 because even Anointed once concerning sins suffered, a just one on behalf of unjust ones, so that us he might lead to the God, being put to death indeed in flesh, being made alive but in spirit;
19 by which also to those in prison having gone he published,
20 having disobeyed once, when was waiting the of the God patience, in days of Noah, being prepared an ark, in which a few (this is eight) lives were carried safely through water;
21 which also us a representation now saves a dipping, (not of flesh a putting away of fifth, but a conscience good seeking after towards God,) through resurrection of Jesus Anointed;
22 who is at right of the God, having gone into heaven, having been subjected to him messengers and authorities and powers.
1 In like manner, you wives, be in subjection to your own husbands. Even if your husband does not obey Gods word, he may be won without a word by observing the way you live.
2 Your husband could see your chaste behavior coupled with respect reverence.
3 Your appearance should not come from the outward adornment, things like braiding the hair, and wearing jewels of gold, or wearing fine apparel.
4 Let your appearance be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible apparel of a meek and quiet spirit. This is of great value in the sight of God.
5 The holy women of old, who hoped in God, adorned themselves this way, being submissive to their own husbands.
6 Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. You are her children now, if you do what is right and are not fearful.
7 In the same way, you husbands live with your wives in an understanding way. Honor the woman as the weaker vessel. For you are joint-heirs of the grace of life. May your prayers not be hindered cut-offblocked.
8 Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, brotherly, tenderhearted, and humble.
9 Do not repay evil for evil, or insult for insult. Do just the opposite. For you were called to inherit a blessing.
10 Whoever would love life and see good days should keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.
11 Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
12 The eyes of Jehovah God are upon the righteous. His ears hear their prayers. But the face person of Jehovah is against those who do evil.
13 Who will harm you if you are eager to do good?
14 Even if you suffer for righteousness sake, you are blessed. Do not fear! Do not be troubled distressedintimidated!
15 Sanctify the Christ as Lord kurios: master in your hearts. Always be ready to answer every man who asks you a reason for your hope, yet with meekness mildness and respect!
16 Keep a good conscience. When you are spoken against, those who revile your good manner of life in Christ may be put to shame.
17 It is better to suffer for doing what is right, if suffering is Gods will, than to suffer for doing evil wrongsin.
18 Because Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit.
19 He preached to the people in prison.
20 They were disobedient while the ark was being built. Yet God waited patiently in the days of Noah. But few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water.
21 This was a symbol pointing to baptism, which now saves you. It is not the washing off of bodily dirt, but the promise made to God for a good conscience. It saves you through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
22 He is in heaven at the right hand of God, ruling over all angels and heavenly authorities and powers.
