| 1st-Peter 3:1 | In like manner, ye wives, [be] in subjection to your won husbands; that, even if any obey not the word, they may without the word be gained by the behavior of their wives; | 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 | Wives, be ruled by your husbands; so that even if some of them give no attention to the word, their hearts may be changed by the behaviour of their wives, |
| 1st-Peter 3:2 | beholding your chaste behavior [coupled] with fear. | so full of reverence, and so blameless! | When they see your holy behaviour in the fear of God. |
| 1st-Peter 3:3 | Whose [adorning] let it not be the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on apparel; | Your adornment ought not to be a merely outward thing one of plaiting the hair, putting on jewelry, or wearing beautiful dresses. | Do not let your ornaments be those of the body such as dressing of the hair, or putting on of jewels of gold or fair clothing; |
| 1st-Peter 3:4 | but [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible [apparel] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. | 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. | But let them be those of the unseen man of the heart, the ever-shining ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great price in the eyes of God. |
| 1st-Peter 3:5 | For after this manner aforetime the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands: | 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. | And these were the ornaments of the holy women of the past, whose hope was in God, being ruled by their husbands: |
| 1st-Peter 3:6 | as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye now are, if ye do well, and are not put in fear by any terror. | 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. | As Sarah was ruled by Abraham, naming him lord; whose children you are if you do well, and are not put in fear by any danger. |
| 1st-Peter 3:7 | Ye husbands, in like manner, dwell with [your wives] according to knowledge, giving honor unto the woman, as unto the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; to the end that your prayers be not hindered. | 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. | And you husbands, give thought to your way of life with your wives, giving honour to the woman who is the feebler vessel, but who has an equal part in the heritage of the grace of life; so that you may not be kept from prayer. |
| 1st-Peter 3:8 | Finally, [be] ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humbleminded: | In conclusion, all of you should be of one mind, quick to sympathize, kind to the brethren, tenderhearted, lowly-minded, | Last of all, see that you are all in agreement; feeling for one another, loving one another like brothers, full of pity, without pride: |
| 1st-Peter 3:9 | not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but contrariwise blessing; for hereunto were ye called, that ye should inherit a blessing. | 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. | Not giving back evil for evil, or curse for curse, but in place of cursing, blessing; because this is the purpose of God for you that you may have a heritage of blessing. |
| 1st-Peter 3:10 | For, He that would love life, And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips that they speak no guile: | 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; | For it is said, Let the man who has a love of life, desiring to see good days, keep his tongue from evil and his lips from words of deceit: |
| 1st-Peter 3:11 | And let him turn away from evil, and do good; Let him seek peace, and pursue it. | Let him turn from evil, and do good; Let him inquire for peace and go in pursuit of it. | And let him be turned from evil and do good; searching for peace and going after it with all his heart. |
| 1st-Peter 3:12 | For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, And his ears unto their supplication: But the face of the Lord is upon them that do evil. | 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." | For the eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil. |
| 1st-Peter 3:13 | And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good? | And who will be able to harm you, if you show yourselves zealous for that which is good? | Who will do you any damage if you keep your minds fixed on what is good? |
| 1st-Peter 3:14 | But even if ye should suffer for righteousness' sake, blessed [are ye:] and fear not their fear, neither be troubled; | But even if you suffer for righteousness' sake, you are to be envied. So do not be alarmed by their threats, nor troubled; | But you are happy if you undergo pain because of righteousness; have no part in their fear and do not be troubled; |
| 1st-Peter 3:15 | but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: [being] ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear: | 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. | But give honour to Christ in your hearts as your Lord; and be ready at any time when you are questioned about the hope which is in you, to give an answer in the fear of the Lord and without pride; |
| 1st-Peter 3:16 | having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ. | 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. | Being conscious that you have done no wrong; so that those who say evil things about your good way of life as Christians may be put to shame. |
| 1st-Peter 3:17 | For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing. | For it is better that you should suffer for doing right, if such be God's will, than for doing evil; | Because if it is God's purpose for you to undergo pain, it is better to do so for well-doing than for evil-doing. |
| 1st-Peter 3:18 | Because Christ also suffered for sins once, 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; | 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, | Because Christ once went through pain for sins, the upright one taking the place of sinners, so that through him we might come back to God; being put to death in the flesh, but given life in the Spirit; |
| 1st-Peter 3:19 | in which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison, | in which He also went and proclaimed His Message to the spirits that were in prison, | By whom he went to the spirits in prison, preaching to those |
| 1st-Peter 3:20 | that aforetime were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water: | 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. | Who, in the days of Noah, went against God's orders; but God in his mercy kept back the punishment, while Noah got ready the ark, in which a small number, that is to say eight persons, got salvation through water: |
| 1st-Peter 3:21 | which also after a true likeness doth now save you, [even] baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ; | 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, | And baptism, of which this is an image, now gives you salvation, not by washing clean the flesh, but by making you free from the sense of sin before God, through the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead; |
| 1st-Peter 3:22 | who is one the right hand of God, having gone into heaven; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. | who is at God's right hand, having gone into Heaven, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him. | Who has gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been put under his rule. |
