| The Book of 1st Peter 3 | ||||||||||||||||
| The Weymouth New Testament Online Bible (WEY) | ||||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:1 | Married women, in the same way, be submissive to your husbands, so that even if some of them disbelieve the Message, they may, apart from the Message, be won over by the daily life of their wives, after watching your daily life | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:2 | so full of reverence, and so blameless! | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:3 | Your adornment ought not to be a merely outward thing one of plaiting the hair, putting on jewelry, or wearing beautiful dresses. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:4 | Instead of that, it should be a new nature within the imperishable ornament of a gentle and peaceful spirit, which is indeed precious in the sight of God. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:5 | For in ancient times also this was the way the holy women who set their hopes upon God used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their husbands. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:6 | Thus, for instance, Sarah obeyed Abraham, acknowledging his authority over her. And you have become Sarah's children if you do what is right and permit nothing whatever to terrify you. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:7 | Married men, in the same way, live with your wives with a clear recognition of the fact that they are weaker than you. Yet, since you are heirs with them of God's free gift of Life, treat them with honour; so that your prayers may not be hindered. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:8 | In conclusion, all of you should be of one mind, quick to sympathize, kind to the brethren, tenderhearted, lowly-minded, | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:9 | not requiting evil with evil nor abuse with abuse, but, on the contrary, giving a blessing in return, because a blessing is what you have been called by God to inherit. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:10 | For "He who wishes to be well-satisfied with life and see happy days let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from deceitful words; | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:11 | Let him turn from evil, and do good; Let him inquire for peace and go in pursuit of it. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:12 | For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open to their supplication; but the face of the Lord is set against evil-doers." | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:13 | And who will be able to harm you, if you show yourselves zealous for that which is good? | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:14 | But even if you suffer for righteousness' sake, you are to be envied. So do not be alarmed by their threats, nor troubled; | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:15 | but in your hearts consecrate Christ as Lord, being always ready to make your defence to any one who asks from you a reason for the hope which you cherish. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:16 | Yet argue modestly and cautiously, keeping your consciences free from guilt, so that, when you are spoken against, those who slander your good Christian lives may be put to shame. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:17 | For it is better that you should suffer for doing right, if such be God's will, than for doing evil; | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:18 | because Christ also once for all died for sins, the innocent One for the guilty many, in order to bring us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit, | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:19 | in which He also went and proclaimed His Message to the spirits that were in prison, | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:20 | who in ancient times had been disobedient, while God's longsuffering was patiently waiting in the days of Noah during the building of the Ark, in which a few persons eight in number were brought safely through the water. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:21 | And, corresponding to that figure, the water of baptism now saves you not the washing off of material defilement, but the craving of a good conscience after God through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Peter 3:22 | who is at God's right hand, having gone into Heaven, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him. | |||||||||||||||
