1 Peter 3

1 Likewise You wives be subject to [their] own husbands, so that even if any are disobedient to the word, through the of the wives conduct without word (they will be gained, *N(k)O*)

Likewise, ye wives, be submissive to your own husbands; in order that, if any do not believe the word, they shall be gained through the deportment of their wives, without the word;

2 having witnessed the in respect pure conduct of you;

beholding your chaste deportment which is with reverence:

3 whose should be not outward of braiding of hair and putting around of gold or putting on of garments adorning,

whose beauty, let it not be the external beauty of braiding the hairs, and wearing golds, or putting on of outer garments;

4 but the hidden of the heart man in the imperishable of the gentle and quiet spirit, which is before the God of great worth.

but let their beauty be the hidden man of the heart, in the purity of the meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is perfection complete.

5 In this way for formerly also the holy women those hoping (in *N(k)O*) (*k*) God were adorning themselves being subject to [their] own husbands;

For in this way in olden times the holy wives, the ones having hope toward God, were indeed accustomed to beautify themselves, submissive to their own husbands:

6 as Sarah (obeyed *NK(o)*) Abraham lord him calling, of whom you have become children doing good and not fearing not one consternation.

as Sarah submitted to Abraham, calling him Lord: whose children you have become, doing good, and not fearing any calamity.

7 you who [are] Husbands likewise, dwelling with [them] according to knowledge as with a weaker vessel with the female rendering honor since [they are] also (joint-heirs *N(k)O*) of [the] grace of life so as this not ([cause to] be impeded *N(k)O*) the prayers of you.

Likewise, ye husbands, dwelling with the wife according to knowledge, as the weaker vessel, extending to them honor, as indeed the equal heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers should not be hindered.

8 Now the end All [be] single-minded, sympathetic, loving as brothers, tender-hearted, (humble, *N(K)O*)

And finally, all being like-minded, sympathetic, loving the brethren, merciful, humble:

9 not repaying evil for evil or insult for insult, on the contrary however blessing (knowing *K*) because to this you were called so that blessing you may inherit.

not giving evil for evil, or railing for railing: but on the contrary blessing; because unto this you have been called, that you may inherit the blessing.

10 The [one] for desiring life to love and to see days good he should keep the tongue (of him *k*) from evil and lips (of him *k*) not to speak deceit.

For let the one wishing to love life, and to see good days, cease his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking guile:

11 he should turn away (also *no*) from evil and he should do good, he should seek peace and he should pursue it.

let him depart from evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and pursue it:

12 Because (the *k*) eyes of [the] Lord [are] on [the] righteous, and [the] ears of Him toward prayer of them, [The] face however of [the] Lord [is] against those doing evil.

because 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 doing evil.

13 And who [is] he who will harm you, if for that which [is] good (zealous *N(K)O*) you shall be?

Who is the one about to harm you, if you may be zealots of the good?

14 But if even you would suffer because of righteousness, [you are] blessed. And the threats of them not shall you be afraid of neither shall you be troubled;

But if indeed you suffer for righteousness' sake, you are happy. Fear not their fear, neither be troubled;

15 [As] Lord however (Christ *N(K)O*) do sanctify in the hearts of you. ready (now *k*) always for a defense to everyone who is asking you an account concerning the in you hope, (yet *NO*) with gentleness and fear,

but sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts: being always ready for an answer to every one asking you a reason for the hope which is in you, but with meekness and fear:

16 a conscience having good, so that in this (you are spoken against *N(k)(o)*) (you as to evildoers *KO*) they may be ashamed those reviling your good in Christ manner of life.

having a good conscience, in order that, in whatsoever you are calumniated, those traducing your good deportment in Christ may be ashamed.

17 [It is] better for doing good if (one would desire *N(k)O*) the will of God, to suffer than doing evil;

For it is better, doing good, if the will of the Lord should will it, to suffer, rather than doing evil.

18 because also Christ once for sins (suffered, *NK(O)*) [the] righteous for [the] unrighteous, so that (you *N(K)O*) He may bring to God, having been put to death indeed in [the] flesh, having been made alive however (in the *k*) spirit,

Because Christ indeed once died for our sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, indeed being put to death in the flesh, but quickened in spirit:

19 in which also to the in prison spirits having gone He preached

by which also having gone he proclaimed to the spirits in prison;

20 having disobeyed at one time, when (he was expecting *N(k)O*) the of God longsuffering in [the] days of Noah when is being prepared [the] ark, in which (few *N(k)O*) That is eight souls — were saved through water;

who at one time were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, the ark being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls were saved through the water.

21 which also (you *N(K)O*) prefigures now saving baptism, not of flesh a putting away of [the] filth, but of a conscience good [the] demand toward God, through [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ,

Which antitype baptism does even now save you, not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the seeking after a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

22 who is at [the] right hand of God having gone into heaven, when were being subjected to Him angels and authorities and powers.

who is on the right hand of God, having gone up into heaven; angels and authorities and powers being subordinated unto him.
