1 Peter 3:1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to
your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the
word be won by the conversation of the wives;
1 Peter 3:2 While they behold your chaste conversation
coupled with fear.
1 Peter 3:3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward
adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of
apparel;
1 Peter 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in
that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit,
which is in the sight of God of great price.
1 Peter 3:5 For after this manner in the old time the holy
women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto
their own husbands:
1 Peter 3:6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling
him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid
with any amazement.
1 Peter 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with
them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker
vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers
be not hindered.
1 Peter 3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind,
having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be
courteous:
1 Peter 3:9 Not rendering evil for evil, or
railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are
thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
1 Peter 3:10 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:
1 Peter 3:11 Let him eschew evil, and do good;
let him seek peace, and ensue it.
1 Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over
the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the
Lord is against them that do evil.
1 Peter 3:13 And who is he that will harm you,
if ye be followers of that which is good?
1 Peter 3:14 But and if ye suffer for
righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror,
neither be troubled;
1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your
hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a
reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
1 Peter 3:16 Having a good conscience; that,
whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that
falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
1 Peter 3:17 For it is better, if the will of
God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered
for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put
to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
1 Peter 3:19 By which also he went and preached
unto the spirits in prison;
1 Peter 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient,
when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark
was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
1 Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even
baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the
flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection
of Jesus Christ:
1 Peter 3:22 Who is
gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities
and powers being made subject unto him.
