1 Peter 3 In like manner, ye wives, be subject to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they may, without the word, be gained through the conduct of their wives,

Worrell⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In like manner, ye wives, be subject to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they may, without the word, be gained through the conduct of their wives, ² having beheld your chaste conduct mingled with fear: ³ whose adorning, let it not be the outward one of braiding of hair and of wearing of golden ornaments, or of putting on apparel; ⁴ but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible apparel of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price. ⁵ For thus, in former times, the holy women also, who hoped in God, were wont to adorn themselves, submitting themselves to their own husbands; ⁶ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, of whom ye became children; if ye do good, and fear no alarm. ⁷ Ye husbands, in like manner, dwell with them according to knowledge, assigning honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; to the end that your prayers be not hindered. ⁸ And, finally, be ye all of one mind, compassionate, loving as brethren, tender-hearted, humble-minded; ⁹ not returning evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but, on the contrary, blessing; because to this end ye were called, that ye might inherit a blessing. ¹⁰ For, "He who wishes to love life, and to see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking guile; ¹¹ and let him turn away from evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and pursue it; ¹² because the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are toward their supplication; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil." ¹³ And who is he that will harm you, if ye become zealous for that which is good? ¹⁴ But, if ye should even suffer for righteousness sake, happy are ye. But fear not their fear, neither be troubled; ¹⁵ but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts; ready always for an answer to every one who asks of you an account concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear; ¹⁶ having a good conscience; that, in whatever ye are spoken against, those who revile your good conduct may be put to shame. ¹⁷ For it is better, if the will of God should will it, that ye suffer for well-doing, than for evil-doing; ¹⁸ because Christ also suffered for sins once, a Righteous One in behalf of the unrighteous, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in flesh, but made alive in the Spirit, ¹⁹ in Whom, also, going, He preached to the spirits in prison, ²⁰ who were once disobedient, when the long-suffering of God was waiting in the days of Noah, while an ark was being prepared, entering into which, a few, that is, eight, souls were saved through water; ²¹ which, in its anti-type, immersion, now saves you also (not a putting away of the filth of flesh, but the requirement of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, ²² Who is on the right hand of God, having gone into Heaven, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.
