1 Peter 3
1 Likewise let the wiues bee subiect to their husbands, that euen they which obey not the worde, may without the worde be wonne by the conuersation of the wiues,
妻子们，你们要以同样的方式接受丈夫的权威，只有这样，如果有些丈夫拒绝接受这个词，你仍然可以用无言的行为说服他们，
2 While they beholde your pure conuersation, which is with feare.
让他们承认你的纯洁和虔诚行为。
3 Whose apparelling, let it not be that outwarde, with broyded heare, and golde put about, or in putting on of apparell:
不要专注于外在的吸引力，比如发型、黄金首饰或时髦的衣服。
4 But let it bee the hidde man of the heart, which consisteth in the incorruption of a meeke and quiet spirite, which is before God a thing much set by.
要让你的吸引力来自内心，内在的温柔和平精神，具有持久吸引力。这也是上帝所看重的。
5 For euen after this maner in time past did the holy women, which trusted in God, tire them selues, and were subiect to their husbands.
过去信上帝的圣洁女性，就是通过这种方式让自己变得美丽，顺服丈夫
6 As Sara obeyed Abraham, and called him Sir: whose daughters ye are, whiles yee doe well, not being afraide of any terrour.
就像撒拉顺从亚伯拉罕，称他为“主。”如果你做正确的事而没有被吓倒，你就是她的女儿。
7 Likewise ye husbands, dwel with them as men of knowledge, giuing honour vnto the woman, as vnto the weaker vessell, euen as they which are heires together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not interrupted.
丈夫们，同样当你和妻子生活在一起，要去体谅她们。虽然她可能没有你那么强有力，但应该尊重她，因为她将与你平等地继承上帝赐予的生命。一定要这样做，这样你在祈祷的时候就不会受到妨碍。
8 Finally, be ye all of one minde: one suffer with another: loue as brethren: bee pitifull: bee courteous,
最后，你们应该有同样的态度。要有同理心，彼此相爱。要有同情心，要谦虚。
9 Not rendring euil for euill, neither rebuke for rebuke: but contrarywise blesse, knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should be heires of blessing.
不要以恶报恶，也不要在被虐待时反击，而是应该祝福——因为这就是你蒙受召唤要做的，所以你可以自己得到祝福。
10 For if any man long after life, and to see good dayes, let him refraine his tongue from euill, and his lippes that they speake no guile.
记住：“那些希望热爱生命之人，想要看见好日子的人，就必须禁止说出恶语，不能说谎；
11 Let him eschew euil, and do good: let him seeke peace, and follow after it.
要远离邪恶，要做善事，寻找并追求和平。
12 For the eyes of the Lord are ouer the righteous, and his eares are open vnto their prayers: and the face of the Lord is against them that do euil.
因为主只会看到那些正确做事的人，他的耳朵会听到他们的祈祷；但主会反对那些作恶之人。”
13 And who is it that will harme you, if ye follow that which is good?
如果你们热心行善，谁能伤害你们呢？
14 Notwithstanding blessed are ye, if ye suffer for righteousnes sake. Yea, feare not their feare, neither be troubled.
就算你们因做了正确之事而受苦，也是有福的。不要害怕别人的威胁，不要畏惧。
15 But sanctifie the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready alwayes to giue an answere to euery man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekenesse and reuerence,
你们的思想要专注于基督主。随时准备好，如果有人向你询问你所拥有的的希望，要向他们解释，以温和尊重的方式解释。
16 Hauing a good coscience, that whe they speake euill of you as of euill doers, they may be ashamed, which slander your good conuersation in Christ.
你的良心务必要是清白的，这样如果有人指控你，就会感到尴尬，因为他们诽谤你在基督那里过着的好生活。
17 For it is better (if the will of God be so) that ye suffer for well doing, then for euil doing.
因行善而受苦（如果这是上帝想要的）肯定比因做错而受苦更好！
18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sinnes, the iust for the vniust, that he might bring vs to God, and was put to death concerning the flesh, but was quickened by the spirit.
耶稣一次性地为罪而死，那完全真实的、良善的和正确的人，为那些坏人而死，这样他就可以把你带到上帝面前。他的身体被杀害了，但他却以灵死而复生。
19 By the which hee also went, and preached vnto the spirits that are in prison.
他去和那些 “被囚禁” 的人谈话
20 Which were in time passed disobedient, when once the long suffering of God abode in the dayes of Noe, while the Arke was preparing, wherein fewe, that is, eight soules were saued in the water.
当上帝在诺亚时代耐心地等待着建造方舟的时候，那些拒绝相信的人。只有少数人--事实上是八个人-“通过水” 得救。
21 Whereof the baptisme that nowe is, answering that figure, (which is not a putting away of the filth of the flesh, but a confident demaunding which a good conscience maketh to God) saueth vs also by the resurrection of Iesus Christ,
现在正拯救你的洗礼，就是这水的象征。并非通过洗掉你身上的污垢，而是来自无愧的良心，是对上帝的积极回应。耶稣基督的复活，让你的救赎成为可能。
22 Which is at the right hand of God, gone into heauen, to whom the Angels, and Powers, and might are subiect.
基督升到天上后，站在上帝的右手边，天使、有权势之人和有能力之人，都服从他。
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
