1 Peter 3

¹Likewise, wives, [be] subject to your own husbands, that, even if any are disobedient to the word, they may be gained without [the] word by the conversation of the wives,

²having witnessed your pure conversation [carried out] in fear;

³whose adorning let it not be that outward one of tressing of hair, and wearing gold, or putting on apparel;

⁴but the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible [ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price.

⁵For thus also the holy women who have hoped in God heretofore adorned themselves, being subject to their own husbands;

⁶as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose children ye have become, doing good, and not fearing with any kind of consternation.

⁷[Ye] husbands likewise, dwell with [them] according to knowledge, as with a weaker, [even] the female, vessel, giving [them] honour, as also fellow-heirs of [the] grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.

⁸Finally, [be] all of one mind, sympathising, full of brotherly love, tender hearted, humble minded;

⁹not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing; but on the contrary, blessing [others], because ye have been called to this, that ye should inherit blessing.

¹⁰For he that will love life and see good days, let him cause his tongue to cease from evil and his lips that they speak no guile.

¹¹And let him avoid evil, and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it;

¹²because [the] eyes of [the] Lord [are] on [the] righteous, and his ears towards their supplications; but [the] face of [the] Lord [is] against them that do evil.
