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*)

Ye women likewise, be subject to your own husbands, that if any believe not the word, they may yet without the word be gained over by the deportment of the wives,

2 having witnessed the in respect pure conduct of you;

beholding your chaste conversation in the fear of God.

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

Whose adorning, let it not be that without, of plaiting the hair, and putting on of gold, or wearing fine clothes;

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 the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

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 so also formerly the holy women, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being submissive to their husbands; as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him her lord:

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

whose daughters ye are, if ye do well, and are not terrified with any sinful fear.

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.

Ye husbands likewise, dwell with them according to knowledge, yielding due respect to the wife as the weaker vessel, and as joint-heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

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

Finally, my beloved, be unanimous, be sympathizing, love as brethren, be compassionate, be courteous:

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 returning evil for evil, or reproach for reproach: but on the contrary blessing even those that curse you: knowing ye are called unto this, that ye may obtain a 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 he that would desire life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no 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 turn away from evil, and do good:

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.

let him seek peace, and pursue it: for the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil."

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

And who will hurt you, if ye be imitators of Him that is 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 ye should even suffer for righteousness sake, happy are ye: and therefore be not afraid of their menaces, neither be troubled; but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:

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,

and be always ready to answer every one that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekness and reverence:

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, that whereas they speak against you as evil-doers, they may be ashamed who calumniate your good conversation in Christ.

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 (if it be the will of God) to suffer for doing good than for 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,

As Christ also once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust (that He might introduce us to God) being indeed put to death in the flesh, but raised to life by the Spirit:

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

by which also He went and preached to the spirits now 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 of old were disobedient, when the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was preparing; wherein a few, that is eight souls, were saved by 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,

The resemblance of which, even baptism, doth also now save us, (not the outward cleansing of filth from the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience towards God) by 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 gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to Him.
