| 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 | 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, | In like manner also let wives be subject to their husbands: that if any believe not the word, they may be won without the word, by the conversation of the wives. |
| 1st-Peter 3:2 | so full of reverence, and so blameless! | When they see your holy behaviour in the fear of God. | Considering your chaste conversation with fear. |
| 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. | 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; | Whose adorning let it not be the outward plaiting of the hair, or the wearing of gold, or the putting on of apparel: |
| 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. | 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. | But the hidden man of the heart in the incorruptibility of a quiet and a meek spirit, which is rich 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. | And these were the ornaments of the holy women of the past, whose hope was in God, being ruled by their husbands: | For after this manner heretofore the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own 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. | 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. | As Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters you are, doing well, and not fearing any disturbance. |
| 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. | 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. | Ye husbands, likewise dwelling with them according to knowledge, giving honour to the female as to the weaker vessel, and as to the co-heirs of the grace of life: that your prayers be not 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, | Last of all, see that you are all in agreement; feeling for one another, loving one another like brothers, full of pity, without pride: | And in fine, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, being lovers of the brotherhood, merciful, modest, humble: |
| 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. | 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. | Not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but contrariwise, blessing: for unto this are you called, that you may inherit a blessing. |
| 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; | 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: | For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile. |
| 1st-Peter 3:11 | 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. | Let him decline from evil, and do good: let him seek after peace and pursue 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." | 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. | Because the eyes of the Lord are upon the just, and his ears unto their prayers: but the countenance of the Lord upon them that do evil things. |
| 1st-Peter 3:13 | 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? | And who is he that can hurt you, if you be zealous of 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; | But you are happy if you undergo pain because of righteousness; have no part in their fear and do not be troubled; | But if also you suffer any thing for justice' sake, blessed are ye. And be not afraid of their fear, and be not 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. | 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; | But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being ready always to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you. |
| 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. | 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. | But with modesty and fear, having a good conscience: that whereas they speak evil of you, they may be ashamed who falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. |
| 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; | 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. | For it is better doing well (if such be the will of God) to suffer, than doing ill. |
| 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, | 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; | Because Christ also died once for our sins, the just for the unjust: that he might offer us to God, being put to death indeed in the flesh, but enlivened in the spirit, |
| 1st-Peter 3:19 | 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 | In which also coming he preached to those 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. | 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: | Which had been some time incredulous, when they waited for the patience of God in the days of Noe, when the ark was a building: wherein a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by 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, | 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; | Whereunto baptism being of the like form, now saveth you also: not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the examination of a good conscience towards God by 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. | Who has gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been put under his rule. | Who is on the right hand of God, swallowing down death, that we might be made heirs of life everlasting: being gone into heaven, the angels and powers and virtues being made subject to him. |
