3:1 Likewise,
wives,
be
subject
to
your
own
husbands,
so
that
even
if
some
do
not
obey
the
word,
they
may
be
won
without
a
word
by
the
conduct
of
their
wives,
3:2 when
they
see
your
respectful
and
pure
conduct.
3:3 Do
not
let
your
adorning
be
external--the
braiding
of
hair
and
the
putting
on
of
gold
jewelry,
or
the
clothing
you
wear--
3:4 but
let
your
adorning
be
the
hidden
person
of
the
heart
with
the
imperishable
beauty
of
a
gentle
and
quiet
spirit,
which
in
God's
sight
is
very
precious.
3:5 For
this
is
how
the
holy
women
who
hoped
in
God
used
to
adorn
themselves,
by
submitting
to
their
own
husbands,
3:6 as
Sarah
obeyed
Abraham,
calling
him
lord.
And
you
are
her
children,
if
you
do
good
and
do
not
fear
anything
that
is
frightening.
3:7 Likewise,
husbands,
live
with
your
wives
in
an
understanding
way,
showing
honor
to
the
woman
as
the
weaker
vessel,
since
they
are
heirs
with
you
of
the
grace
of
life,
so
that
your
prayers
may
not
be
hindered.
3:8 Finally,
all
of
you,
have
unity
of
mind,
sympathy,
brotherly
love,
a
tender
heart,
and
a
humble
mind.
3:9 Do
not
repay
evil
for
evil
or
reviling
for
reviling,
but
on
the
contrary,
bless,
for
to
this
you
were
called,
that
you
may
obtain
a
blessing.
3:10 For
"Whoever
desires
to
love
life
and
see
good
days,
let
him
keep
his
tongue
from
evil
and
his
lips
from
speaking
deceit;
3:11 let
him
turn
away
from
evil
and
do
good;
let
him
seek
peace
and
pursue
it.
3:12 For
the
eyes
of
the
Lord
are
on
the
righteous,
and
his
ears
are
open
to
their
prayer.
But
the
face
of
the
Lord
is
against
those
who
do
evil."
3:13 Now
who
is
there
to
harm
you
if
you
are
zealous
for
what
is
good
3:14 But
even
if
you
should
suffer
for
righteousness'
sake,
you
will
be
blessed.
Have
no
fear
of
them,
nor
be
troubled,
3:15 but
in
your
hearts
honor
Christ
the
Lord
as
holy,
always
being
prepared
to
make
a
defense
to
anyone
who
asks
you
for
a
reason
for
the
hope
that
is
in
you;
yet
do
it
with
gentleness
and
respect,
3:16 having
a
good
conscience,
so
that,
when
you
are
slandered,
those
who
revile
your
good
behavior
in
Christ
may
be
put
to
shame.
3:17 For
it
is
better
to
suffer
for
doing
good,
if
that
should
be
God's
will,
than
for
doing
evil.
3:18 For
Christ
also
suffered
once
for
sins,
the
righteous
for
the
unrighteous,
that
he
might
bring
us
to
God,
being
put
to
death
in
the
flesh
but
made
alive
in
the
spirit,
3:19 in
which
he
went
and
proclaimed
to
the
spirits
in
prison,
3:20 because
they
formerly
did
not
obey,
when
God's
patience
waited
in
the
days
of
Noah,
while
the
ark
was
being
prepared,
in
which
a
few,
that
is,
eight
persons,
were
brought
safely
through
water.
3:21 Baptism,
which
corresponds
to
this,
now
saves
you,
not
as
a
removal
of
dirt
from
the
body
but
as
an
appeal
to
God
for
a
good
conscience,
through
the
resurrection
of
Jesus
Christ,
3:22 who
has
gone
into
heaven
and
is
at
the
right
hand
of
God,
with
angels,
authorities,
and
powers
having
been
subjected
to
him.
