| 1st-Peter 3:1 | Likewise, wives, [be] subject to your own husbands, that, even if any are disobedient to the word, they may be gained without [the] word by the conversation of the 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 | having witnessed your pure conversation [carried out] in 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 that outward one of tressing of hair, and wearing gold, or 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 the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible [ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is 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 thus also the holy women who have hoped in God heretofore adorned themselves, being subject 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 have become, doing good, and not fearing with any kind of consternation. | 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 likewise, dwell with [them] according to knowledge, as with a weaker, [even] the female, vessel, giving [them] honour, as also fellow-heirs of [the] grace of life, 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] all of one mind, sympathising, full of brotherly love, tender hearted, humble minded; | 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 railing for railing; but on the contrary, blessing [others], because ye have been called to this, that ye should inherit 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 will love life and see good days, let him cause his tongue to cease 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 avoid 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 | because [the] eyes of [the] Lord [are] on [the] righteous, and his ears towards their supplications; but [the] face of [the] Lord [is] against 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 shall injure you if ye have become imitators 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 if also ye should suffer for righteousness' sake, blessed [are ye]; but be not afraid of 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 [the] Lord the Christ in your hearts, and [be] always prepared to [give] an answer [to] every one that asks you to give an account of the hope that [is] in you, but 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 [as to that] in which they speak against you as evildoers, they may be ashamed who calumniate your good conversation 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 will it, to suffer [as] well-doers than [as] evildoers; | 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 | for Christ indeed has once suffered for sins, [the] just for [the] unjust, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in 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 going he preached to the spirits [which are] 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 | heretofore disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in [the] days of Noah while the ark was preparing, into which 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 figure also now saves you, [even] baptism, not a putting away of [the] filth of flesh, but [the] demand as before God of a good conscience, by [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 at [the] right hand of God, gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being subjected to 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. |
