3:8 Suffering for doing good

8 Finally, everyone should be agreeable and sympathetic to others, kind and caring towards those around you, humble 9 and not repaying evil with evil or insult with insult, but rather be a blessing to others. You were called to do that so that you all can receive a blessing. 10 [ref]because it’s written:

‘The person wanting to enjoy life and see good days,

let their tongue cease from evil,

and their lips to not speak deceit.

11 Let them turn away from evil and do good,

let them look for peace and chase after it,

12 because the master’s eyes are on the righteous,

and his ears listen to their petition,

but the master turns his face away from those who do evil.’

13 Then who would mistreat you if you all become active at doing good, 14 [ref]but even if some of you do suffer because of your godliness, you will be blessed. Don’t be scared or disturbed because of your fear of them, 15 but revere the messiah as the master of your hearts. Always be ready to explain the hope that you all have if anyone asks, 16 but do it with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that if you’re accused falsely of doing evil, then it’ll be the ones who mistreat you all because of your good conduct in the message who will be disgraced. 17 Because it is better to do good and then, if God wills it, to suffer, than to do evil. 18 Because the messiah also died once for sin, i.e., the sinless one died for sinful people, so that he can bring you all past death onward to God. Although he experienced physical death, he had been given life in the spirit 19 and with that life he also went to the spirits in prison and preached to them—20 [ref]those who had refused to believe. God had waited patiently in the time of Noah when the barge was being built yet only a few were saved. Eight of them were brought safely through the waters 21 which also represents how being immersed saved you all. It doesn’t remove the filth from your bodies, but cleans the conscience as you pledge to God through the resurrection of Yeshua the messiah, 22 who went to heaven and sat on God’s right, with God’s messengers and authorities and powers all under his authority.

3:10-12: Psa 34:12-16 (LXX).

3:14: Mat 5:10.

3:20: Gen 6:1–7:24.

8 And the end, all being, like _minded, sympathetic, brother-loving, tender-hearted, humble, 9 not giving _back evil for evil, or insult for insult, but instead blessing, that to this you _all _were _called, in _order _that you _all _may _inherit blessing.
10 For/Because the one wanting life to _be _loving, and to _see good days, let_ his tongue _cease from evil, and ^his_lips which not to _speak deceit.
11 And let _him _turn _away from evil, and let _him _do good, let _him _seek peace and let _him _pursue it.
12 Because the_eyes of_the_master are on the_righteous, and the_ears of _him toward the_petition of _them, but the_face of_the_master is against those _doing evil.
13 And who is the one going _to _mistreat you _all, if you _all _may _become zealous for _the good?
14 But if even might _be _suffering because _of righteousness, you _are blessed.
And the fear of _them, neither be _afraid nor you _all _may _be _disturbed, 15 But as_master the chosen _one /messiah sanctify in the hearts of _you _all, always be ready for a_defense to _everyone which requesting you _all an_account, concerning the hope in you _all, 16 but with gentleness and respect, having a_ good _conscience, in _order _that in which they _are _slandering of _you _all as evildoers, the ones mistreating of _you _all may _be _disgraced the good conduct in chosen _one /messiah.
17 For/Because it _is better to _be _suffering doing _good, if the will of_ the _god might _be _willing it, than doing _evil.
18 Because also chosen _one /messiah died _off once for the_sins the_righteous for the_unrighteous, in _order _that he _may _bringing _forward you _all to_ the _god, on _one _hand having _been _put _to _death in_the_flesh, on _the _other _hand having _been _given _life in_the_spirit, 19 in which also having _been _gone to _the to _spirits in prison he _proclaimed, 20 to _having _disbelieved ones once when the patience of_ the _god was _eagerly _waiting in the_days of _Nōe/(Noaḩ), the_box being _prepared in which a_few, this is, eight souls, were _brought _safely _through through the_water.
21 Which also representative now the_immersion is _saving you _all, not a_removal of_the_filth of _flesh, but of_a_ good _conscience, the_inquiry toward god through the_resurrection of_Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen _one /messiah, 22 having _been _gone into heaven who is at the_right hand of_god, with _messengers, and authorities, and powers having _been _subjected to _him.
