1 Peter 3:1-18

3:1

Likewise
<3668>_,

ye wives
<1135>_,

[be] in subjection
<5293> (5746)

to your own
<2398>

husbands
<435>_;

that
<2443>_,

if any
<1536>

obey not
<544> (5719)

the word
<3056>_,

they
<2770> (0)

also
<2532>

may
<2770> (0)

without
<427>

the word
<3056>

be won
<2770> (5686)

by
<1223>

the conversation
<391>

of the wives
<1135>_;

3:2

While they behold
<2029> (5660)

your
<5216>

chaste
<53>

conversation
<391>

[coupled] with
<1722>

fear
<5401>_.

3:3

Whose
<3739>

adorning
<2889>

let it
<2077> (0)

not
<3756>

be
<2077> (5749)

that outward
<1855>

[adorning] of plaiting
<1708>

the hair
<2359>_,

and
<2532>

of wearing
<4025>

of gold
<5553>_,

or
<2228>

of putting on
<1745>

of apparel
<2440>_;

3:4

But
<235>

[let it be] the hidden
<2927>

man
<444>

of the heart
<2588>_,

in
<1722>

that which is not corruptible
<862>_,

[even the ornament] of a meek
<4239>

and
<2532>

quiet
<2272>

spirit
<4151>_,

which
<3739>

is
<2076> (5748)

in the sight
<1799>

of God
<2316>

of great price
<4185>_.

3:5

For
<1063>

after this manner
<3779>

in the old time
<4218>

the holy
<40>

women
<1135>

also
<2532>_,

who
<3588>

trusted
<1679> (5723)

in
<1909>

God
<2316>_,

adorned
<2885> (5707)

themselves
<1438>_,

being in subjection
<5293> (5746)

unto their own
<2398>

husbands
<435>_:

3:6

Even as
<5613>

Sara
<4564>

obeyed
<5219> (5656)

Abraham
<11>_,

calling
<2564> (5723)

him
<846>

lord
<2962>_:

whose
<3739>

daughters
<5043>

ye are
<1096> (5675)_,

as long as ye do well
<15> (5723)_,

and
<2532>

are
<5399> (0)

not
<3361>

afraid
<5399> (5740)

with any
<3367>

amazement
<4423>_.

{daughters: Gr. children}

3:7

Likewise
<3668>_,

ye husbands
<435>_,

dwell with
<4924> (5723)

[them] according to
<2596>

knowledge
<1108>_,

giving
<632> (5723)

honour
<5092>

unto the wife
<1134>_,

as
<5613>

unto the weaker
<772>

vessel
<4632>_,

and
<2532>

as
<5613>

being heirs together
<4789>

of the grace
<5485>

of life
<2222>_;

that
<1519>

your
<5216>

prayers
<4335>

be
<1581> (0)

not
<3361>

hindered
<1581> (5745)_.

3:8

Finally
<1161> <5056>_,

[be ye] all
<3956>

of one mind
<3675>_,

having compassion one of another
<4835>_,

love as brethren
<5361>_,

[be] pitiful
<2155>_,

[be] courteous
<5391>_:

{love as: or, loving to the}

3:9

Not
<3361>

rendering
<591> (5723)

evil
<2556>

for
<473>

evil
<2556>_,

or
<2228>

railing
<3059>

for
<473>

railing
<3059>_:

but
<1161>

contrariwise
<5121>

blessing
<2129>_;

knowing
<1492> (5761)

that
<3754>

ye are
<2564> (0)

thereunto
<1519> <5124>

called
<2564> (5681)_,

that
<2443>

ye should inherit
<2816> (5661)

a blessing
<2127> (5723)_.

3:10

For
<1063>

he that will
<2309> (5723)

love
<25> (5721)

life
<2222>_,

and
<2532>

see
<1492> (5629)

good
<18>

days
<2250>_,

let him refrain
<3973> (5657)

his
<846>

tongue
<1100>

from
<575>

evil
<2556>_,

and
<2532>

his
<846>

lips
<5491>

that they speak
<2980> (5658)

no
<3361>

guile
<1388>_:

3:11

Let him eschew
<1578> (5657) <575>

evil
<2556>_,

and
<2532>

do
<4160> (5657)

good
<18>_;

let him seek
<2212> (5657)

peace
<1515>_,

and
<2532>

ensue
<1377> (5657)

it
<846>_.

3:12

For
<3754>

the eyes
<3788>

of the Lord
<2962>

[are] over
<1909>

the righteous
<1342>_,

and
<2532>

his
<846>

ears
<3775>

[are open] unto
<1519>

their
<846>

prayers
<1162>_:

but
<1161>

the face
<4383>

of the Lord
<2962>

[is] against
<1909>

them that do
<4160> (5723)

evil
<2556>_.

{against: Gr. upon}

3:13

And
<2532>

who
<5101>

[is] he that will harm
<2559> (5694)

you
<5209>_,

if
<1437>

ye be
<1096> (5638)

followers
<3402>

of that which is good
<18>_?

3:14

But
<235>

and if
<1499>

ye suffer
<3958> (5722)

for
<1223>

righteousness' sake
<1343>_,

happy
<3107>

[are ye]: and
<1161>

be
<5399> (0)

not
<3361>

afraid
<5399> (5676)

of their
<846>

terror
<5401>_,

neither
<3366>

be troubled
<5015> (5686)_;

3:15

But
<1161>

sanctify
<37> (5657)

the Lord
<2962>

God
<2316>

in
<1722>

your
<5216>

hearts
<2588>_:

and
<1161>

[be] ready
<2092>

always
<104>

to
<4314>

[give] an answer
<627>

to every man
<3956>

that asketh
<154> (5723)

you
<5209>

a reason
<3056>

of
<4012>

the hope
<1680>

that is in
<1722>

you
<5213>

with
<3326>

meekness
<4240>

and
<2532>

fear
<5401>_:

{fear: or, reverence}

3:16

Having
<2192> (5723)

a good
<18>

conscience
<4893>_;

that
<2443>_,

whereas
<1722> <3739>

they speak evil
<2635> (5725)

of you
<5216>_,

as
<5613>

of evildoers
<2555>_,

they may be ashamed
<2617> (5686)

that falsely accuse
<1908> (5723)

your
<5216>

good
<18>

conversation
<391>

in
<1722>

Christ
<5547>_.

3:17

For
<1063>

[it is] better
<2909>_,

if
<1487>

the will
<2307>

of God
<2316>

be so
<2309> (5719)_,

that ye suffer
<3958> (5721)

for well doing
<15> (5723)_,

than
<2228>

for evil doing
<2554> (5723)_.

3:18

For
<3754>

Christ
<5547>

also
<2532>

hath once
<530>

suffered
<3958> (5627)

for
<4012>

sins
<266>_,

the just
<1342>

for
<5228>

the unjust
<94>_,

that
<2443>

he might bring
<4317> (5632)

us
<2248>

to God
<2316>_,

being put to death
<2289> (5772) <3303>

in the flesh
<4561>_,

but
<1161>

quickened
<2227> (5685)

by the Spirit
<4151>_:
