3 Similarly, wives, be subjected to your own husbands so that even if some are being disobedient to the word, they will be won without a word through the behavior of their wives, 2 having observed your pure behavior with fear, 3 whose adornment let be not the outward braiding of hair and wearing of gold jewelry or wearing of fine clothing, 4 but the hidden man of the heart, in the imperishable thing of the gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious before God. 5 For in this manner also the holy women, the ones hoping in God, formerly adorned themselves, being subjected to their own husbands, 6 like Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him “lord,” whose children you have become, doing what is good and not being afraid of any terror.
7 Husbands, similarly, live with the female according to knowledge, as with a weaker container, assigning honor as also fellow heirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
8 Now finally, everyone be likeminded, sympathetic, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, humble; 9 not paying back evil in exchange for evil or insult in exchange for insult, but on the contrary, blessing, because to this you were called so that you might inherit a blessing.
10 For,
“Let the one wanting to love life and to see good days
stop his tongue from evil, and his lips not to speak deceit.
11 But let him turn away from evil and let him do good.
Let him seek peace and let him pursue it, 12 for
the eyes of the Lord are on righteous ones, and his ears are toward their request,
but the face of the Lord is against those doing evil.”
13 And who is the one who will harm you if you become zealous ones of the good? 14 But even if you might suffer because of righteousness, you are blessed ones. But you should not fear the fear of them nor be troubled, 15 but sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, always ready for a defense to everyone who asks you for a word concerning the hope in you, 16 but with meekness and fear, having a good conscience so that, in what you are being slandered, the ones reviling your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed. 17 Forit is better to suffer doing good, if the will of God wills, than doing evil. 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins—righteous on behalf of unrighteous—so that he might bring you to God, having indeed been killed in flesh, but having been made alive in spirit, 19 in which also he proclaimed, having gone to the spirits in prison, 20 having disobeyed formerly, when the patience of God was waiting in the days of Noah, an ark being constructed, in which a few—that is, eight souls—were rescued through water, 21 which, being an antitype, now saves you also, baptism—not a removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal of a good conscience to God—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, with angels and authorities and powers having been subjected to him.
