1 Peter 3
1 Likewise, you wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they may, without the word, be won by the conduct of their wives,
Similiter et mulieres subditæ sint viris suis: ut etsi qui non credunt verbo, per mulierem conversationem sine verbo lucrifiant:
2 by observing your blameless and reverential conduct.
considerantes in timore castam conversationem vestram.
3 Let not your adorning be that which is outward, which consists in plaiting the hair, and wearing gold, and putting on apparel:
Quarum non sit extrinsecus capillatura, aut circumdatio auri, aut indumenti vestimentorum cultus:
4 but let it be the hidden man of the heart, adorned with the incorruptible ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which, in the sight of God, is of great price.
sed qui absconditus est cordis homo, in incorruptibilitate quieti, et modesti spiritus, qui est in conspectu Dei locuples.
5 For, in former times, the holy women also, who trusted in God, thus adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands,
Sic enim aliquando et sanctæ mulieres, sperantes in Deo, ornabant se, subjectæ propriis viris.
6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: and you are her children, if you do good, and fear no dismay.
Sicut Sara obediebat Abrahæ, dominum eum vocans: cujus estis filiæ benefacientes, et non pertimentes ullam perturbationem.
7 Likewise, you husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, bestowing honor on the wife as the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered.
Viri similiter cohabitantes secundum scientiam, quasi infirmiori vasculo muliebri impartientes honorem, tamquam et cohæredibus gratiæ vitæ: ut non impediantur orationes vestræ.
8 Finally, be all of the same mind, be sympathizing, lovers of the brethren, kind-hearted, humble-minded;
In fine autem omnes unanimes, compatientes fraternitatis amatores, misericordes, modesti, humiles:
9 not repaying evil for evil, nor reviling for reviling, but, on the other hand, blessing, since you know that for this end you were called, that you might inherit blessing.
non reddentes malum pro malo, nec maledictum pro maledicto, sed e contrario benedicentes: quia in hoc vocati estis, ut benedictionem hæreditate possideatis.
10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking guile:
Qui enim vult vitam diligere, et dies videre bonos, coërceat linguam suam a malo, et labia ejus ne loquantur dolum.
11 let him turn from evil and do good: let him seek peace, and pursue it.
Declinet a malo, et faciat bonum: inquirat pacem, et sequatur eam:
12 For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry: but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.
quia oculi Domini super justos, et aures ejus in preces eorum: vultus autem Domini super facientes mala.
13 And who is he that will harm you, if you be followers of that which is good?
Et quis est qui vobis noceat, si boni æmulatores fueritis?
14 But yet, if you even suffer for righteousness, happy are you. Yet fear not their terror, nor be troubled:
Sed et si quid patimini propter justitiam, beati. Timorem autem eorum ne timueritis, et non conturbemini.
15 but reverence the Lord God in your hearts, and be always ready to answer every one that asks of you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;
Dominum autem Christum sanctificate in cordibus vestris, parati semper ad satisfactionem omni poscenti vos rationem de ea, quæ in vobis est, spe.
16 having a good conscience, that, inasmuch as they speak against you as evil-doers, they may be ashamed who traduce your good con duct in Christ.
Sed cum modestia, et timore, conscientiam habentes bonam: ut in eo, quod detrahunt vobis, confundantur, qui calumniantur vestram bonam in Christo conversationem.
17 For it is better, if such be the will of God, that you suffer for doing good, than for doing evil.
Melius est enim benefacientes (si voluntas Dei velit) pati, quam malefacientes.
18 For Christ also once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, having been put to death in flesh, but made alive in spirit;
Quia et Christus semel pro peccatis nostris mortuus est, justus pro injustis, ut nos offerret Deo, mortificatus quidem carne, vivificatus autem spiritu.
19 in which also he went and preached to the spirits in prison,
In quo et his, qui in carcere erant, spiritibus veniens prædicavit:
20 who formerly were disobedient, when the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while an ark was preparing, in which few, that is, eight souls, were brought in safety through the water;
qui increduli fuerant aliquando, quando exspectabant Dei patientiam in diebus Noë, cum fabricaretur arca: in qua pauci, id est octo animæ, salvæ factæ sunt per aquam.
21 the likeness of which, even immersion, (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the seeking of a good conscience toward God, ) does now also save us, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
Quod et vos nunc similis formæ salvos fecit baptisma: non carnis depositio sordium, sed conscientiæ bonæ interrogatio in Deum per resurrectionem Jesu Christi.
22 who has gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having become subject to him.
Qui est in dextera Dei, deglutiens mortem ut vitæ æternæ hæredes efficeremur: profectus in cælum subjectis sibi angelis, et potestatibus, et virtutibus.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
