1 Peter 3:16 (ESV) English Standard Version

1 Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives-

2 when they see your respectful and pure conduct.

3 Do not let your adorning be external- the braiding of hair, the wearing of gold, or the putting on of clothing-

4 but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.

5 For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their husbands,

6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.

7 Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

8 Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.

9 Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.

10 For "Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit;

11 let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.

12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."

13 Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good?

14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled,

15 but in your hearts regard Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you;

16 yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.

17 For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.

18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, 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,

19 in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison,

20 because they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water.

21 Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.

1 Likewise ^G3668 ^ADV , ye wives ^G1135 ^N-NPF , be in subjection ^G5293 ^V-PPP-NPF to your own ^G2398 ^A-DPM husbands ^G435 ^N-DPM ; that ^G2443 ^CONJ , if any ^G1536 obey not ^G544 ^V-PAI-3P the ^G3588 ^T-DSM word ^G3056 ^N-DSM , they also ^G2532 ^CONJ may without ^G427 ^PREP the word ^G3056 ^N-GSM be won ^G2770 ^V-FPI-3P by ^G1223 ^PREP the ^G3588 ^T-DPM conversation ^G391 ^N-GSF of ^G3588 ^T-GPF the ^G3588 ^T-GPF wives ^G1135 ^N-GPF ;

2 While they behold ^G2029 ^V-AAP-NPM your ^G5216 ^P-2GP chaste ^G53 ^A-ASF conversation ^G391 ^N-ASF coupled with ^G1722 ^PREP fear ^G5401 ^N-DSM .

3 Whose ^G3739 ^R-GPF adorning ^G2889 ^N-NSM let it not ^G3756 ^PRT-N be ^G2077 ^V-PXM-3S that ^G3588 ^T-NSM outward ^G1855 ^ADV adorning of plaiting ^G1708 ^N-GSF the hair ^G2359 ^N-GPF , and ^G2532 ^CONJ of wearing ^G4025 ^N-GSF of gold ^G5553 ^N-GPN , or ^G2228 ^PRT of putting on ^G1745 ^N-GSF of apparel ^G2440 ^N-GPN ;

4 But ^G235 ^CONJ let it be the ^G3588 ^T-NSM hidden ^G2927 ^A-NSM man ^G444 ^N-NSM of ^G3588 ^T-GSF the ^G3588 ^T-GSF heart ^G2588 ^N-GSF , in ^G1722 ^PREP that which is not corruptible ^G862 ^A-DSN , even the ^G3588 ^T-GSN ornament of a meek ^G4239 ^A-GSN and ^G2532 ^CONJ quiet ^G2272 ^A-GSN spirit ^G4151 ^N-GSN , which ^G3739 ^R-NSN is ^G2076 ^V-PXI-3S in the ^G3588 ^T-GSM sight ^G1799 ^ADV of God ^G2316 ^N-GSM of great price ^G4185 ^A-NSN .

5 For ^G1063 ^CONJ after this manner ^G3779 ^ADV in the old time ^G4218 ^PRT the ^G3588 ^T-NPF holy ^G40 ^A-NPF women ^G1135 ^N-NPF also ^G2532 ^CONJ , who trusted ^G1679 ^V-PAP-NPF in ^G1909 ^PREP God ^G2316 ^N-ASM , adorned ^G2885 ^V-IAI-3P themselves ^G1438 ^F-3APF , being in subjection ^G5293 ^V-PPP-NPF unto their own ^G2398 ^A-DPM husbands ^G435 ^N-DPM :

6 Even as ^G5613 ^ADV Sarah ^G4564 ^N-NSF obeyed ^G5219 ^V-AAI-3S Abraham ^G11 ^N-PRI , calling ^G2564 ^V-PAP-NSF him ^G846 ^P-ASM lord ^G2962 ^N-ASM : whose ^G3739 ^R-GSF daughters ^G5043 ^N-APN ye are ^G1096 ^V-AOI-2P , as long as ye do well ^G15 ^V-PAP-NPF , and ^G2532 ^CONJ are not afraid ^G5399 ^V-PNP-NPF with any ^G3367 ^A-ASF amazement ^G4423 ^N-ASF .

7 Likewise ^G3668 ^ADV , ye husbands ^G435 ^N-NPM , dwell with ^G4924 ^V-PAP-NPM them according ^G2596 ^PREP to knowledge ^G1108 ^N-ASF , giving ^G632 ^V-PAP-NPM honor ^G5092 ^N-ASF unto the ^G3588 ^T-DSN wife ^G1134 ^A-DSN , as ^G5613 ^ADV unto the weaker ^G772 A-DSN-C vessel ^G4632 ^N-DSN , and ^G2532 ^CONJ as ^G5613 ^ADV being heirs together ^G4789 ^A-NPM of the grace ^G5485 ^N-GSF of life ^G2222 ^N-GSF ; that ^G3588 ^T-APF your ^G3588 ^T-APF prayers ^G4335 ^N-APF be not ^G3361 ^PRT-N hindered ^G1581 .

8 Finally ^G5056 ^N-NSN , be ye all ^G3956 ^A-NPM of one mind ^G3675 ^A-NPM , having compassion one of another ^G4835 ^A-NPM , love as brethren ^G5361 ^A-NPM , be pitiful ^G2155 ^A-NPM , be courteous ^G5391 ^A-NPM :

9 Not ^G3361 ^PRT-N rendering ^G591 ^V-PAP-NPM evil ^G2556 ^A-ASN for ^G473 ^PREP evil ^G2556 ^A-GSN , or ^G2228 ^PRT railing ^G3059 ^N-ASF for ^G473 ^PREP railing ^G3059 ^N-GSF : but ^G1161 ^CONJ contrariwise ^G5121 ^ADV-C blessing ^G2127 ^V-PAP-NPM ; knowing ^G1492 ^V-RAP-NPM that ^G3754 ^CONJ ye are thereunto ^G1519 ^PREP called ^G2564 ^V-API-2P , that ^G2443 ^CONJ ye should inherit ^G2816 ^V-AAS-2P a blessing ^G2129 ^N-ASF .

10 For ^G1063 ^CONJ he that will ^G2309 ^V-PAP-NSM love ^G25 ^V-PAN life ^G2222 ^N-ASF , and ^G2532 ^CONJ see ^G1492 ^V-2AAN good ^G18 ^A-APF days ^G2250 ^N-APF , let him refrain ^G3973 ^V-AAM-3S his ^G3588 ^T-ASF tongue ^G1100 ^N-ASF from ^G575 ^PREP evil ^G2556 ^A-GSN , and ^G2532 ^CONJ his ^G848 lips ^G5491 ^N-APN that ^G3588 ^T-GSM they ^G3588 ^T-GSM speak ^G2980 ^V-AAN no ^G3361 ^PRT-N guile ^G1388 ^N-ASM :

11 Let him eschew ^G1578 ^V-AAM-3S evil ^G2556 ^A-GSN , and ^G2532 ^CONJ do ^G4160 ^V-AAM-3S good ^G18 ^A-ASN ; let him seek ^G2212 ^V-AAM-3S peace ^G1515 ^N-ASF , and ^G2532 ^CONJ ensue ^G1377 ^V-AAM-3S it ^G846 ^P-ASF .

12 For ^G3754 ^CONJ the ^G3588 eyes ^G3788 ^N-NPM of the Lord ^G2962 ^N-GSM are over ^G1909 ^PREP the righteous ^G1342 ^A-APM , and ^G2532 ^CONJ his ^G846 ^P-GSM ears ^G3775 ^N-NPN are open unto ^G1519 ^PREP their ^G846 ^P-GPM prayers ^G1162 ^N-ASF : but ^G1161 ^CONJ the face ^G4383 ^N-NSN of the Lord ^G2962 ^N-GSM is against ^G1909 ^PREP them that do ^G4160 ^V-PAP-APM evil ^G2556 ^A-APN .

13 And ^G2532 ^CONJ who ^G5101 ^I-NSM is he that will harm ^G2559 ^V-FAP-NSM you ^G5209 ^P-2AP , if ^G1437 ^COND ye be ^G1096 ^V-2ADS-2P followers ^G3402 ^N-NPM of that which is good ^G18 ^A-GSN ?

14 But ^G235 ^CONJ and ^G2532 ^CONJ if ^G1487 ^COND ye suffer ^G3958 ^V-PAO-2P for righteousness\' sake ^G1223 ^PREP , happy ^G3107 ^A-NPM are ye : and ^G1161 ^CONJ be not afraid ^G5399 ^V-AOM-2P of their ^G846 ^P-GPM terror ^G5401 ^N-ASM , neither ^G3366 ^CONJ be troubled ^G5015 ^V-APS-2P ;

15 But ^G1161 ^CONJ sanctify ^G37 ^V-AAM-2P the ^G3588 ^T-ASM Lord ^G2962 ^N-ASM God ^G2316 ^N-ASM in ^G1722 ^PREP your ^G3588 ^T-DPF hearts ^G2588 ^N-DPF : and ^G1161 ^CONJ be ready ^G2092 ^A-NPM always ^G104 ^ADV to give an answer ^G627 ^N-ASF to every man ^G3956 ^A-DSM that asketh ^G154 ^V-PAP-DSM you ^G5209 ^P-2AP a reason ^G3056 ^N-ASM of ^G4012 ^PREP the ^G3588 ^T-ASM hope ^G1680 ^N-GSF that is in ^G1722 ^PREP you ^G5213 ^P-2DP with ^G3326 ^PREP meekness ^G4240 ^N-GSF and ^G2532 ^CONJ fear ^G5401 ^N-GSM :

16 Having ^G2192 ^V-PAP-NPM a good ^G18 ^A-ASF conscience ^G4893 ^N-ASF ; that ^G2443 ^CONJ , whereas ^G1722 ^PREP they speak evil of ^G2635 ^V-PAS-3P you ^G5216 ^P-2GP , as ^G5613 ^ADV of evildoers ^G2555 ^A-GPM , they ^G3588 ^T-NPM may be ashamed ^G2617 ^V-APS-3P that falsely accuse ^G1908 ^V-PAP-NPM your ^G3588 ^T-ASF good ^G18 ^A-ASF conversation ^G391 ^N-ASF in ^G1722 ^PREP Christ ^G5547 ^N-DSM .

17 For ^G1063 ^CONJ it is better ^G2909 ^A-NSN , if ^G1487 ^COND the ^G3588 ^T-NSN will ^G2307 ^N-NSN of God ^G2316 ^N-GSM be ^G2309 ^V-PAO-3S so , that ye suffer ^G3958 ^V-PAN for well doing ^G15 ^V-PAP-APM , than ^G2228 ^PRT for evil doing ^G2554 ^V-PAP-APM .

18 For ^G3754 ^CONJ Christ ^G5547 ^N-NSM also ^G2532 ^CONJ hath once ^G530 ^ADV suffered ^G3958 ^V-2AAI-3S for ^G4012 ^PREP sins ^G266 ^N-GPF , the just ^G1342 ^A-NSM for ^G5228 ^PREP the unjust ^G94 ^A-GPM , that ^G2443 ^CONJ he might bring ^G4317 ^V-2AAS-3S us ^G3588 ^T-DSM to God ^G2316 ^N-DSM , being put to death ^G2289 ^V-RPP-NSM in the ^G3303 ^PRT flesh ^G4561 ^N-DSF , but ^G1161 ^CONJ quickened ^G2227 ^V-APP-NSM by the ^G3588 ^T-DSM Spirit ^G4151 ^N-DSN :

19 By ^G1722 ^PREP which ^G3739 ^R-DSN also ^G2532 ^CONJ he went ^G4198 ^V-AOP-NSM and preached ^G2784 ^V-AAI-3S unto the ^G3588 ^T-DPN spirits ^G4151 ^N-DPN in ^G1722 ^PREP prison ^G5438 ^N-DSF ;

20 Which sometime ^G4218 ^PRT were disobedient ^G544 ^V-AAP-DPM , when ^G3753 ^ADV once ^G530 the ^G3588 ^T-NSF longsuffering ^G3115 ^N-NSF of God ^G2316 ^N-GSM waited ^G1551 in ^G1722 ^PREP the days ^G2250 ^N-DPF of Noah ^G3575 ^N-PRI , while the ark ^G2787 ^N-GSF was a preparing ^G2680 ^V-PPP-GSF , wherein ^G1519 ^PREP few ^G3641 ^A-NPF , that is ^G5123 , eight ^G3638 ^A-NUI souls ^G5590 ^N-NPF were saved ^G1295 ^V-API-3P by ^G1223 ^PREP water ^G5204 ^N-GSN .

21 The like figure ^G499 ^A-NSN whereunto ^G3739 ^R-NSN even baptism ^G908 ^N-NSN doth also ^G2532 ^CONJ now ^G3568 ^ADV save ^G4982 ^V-PAI-3S us ^G2248 ^P-1AP ( ^PRT-N not ^G3756 ^PRT-N the putting away ^G595 ^N-NSF of the filth ^G4509 ^N-GSM of the flesh ^G4561 ^N-GSF , but ^G235 ^CONJ the answer ^G1906 ^N-NSN of a good ^G18 ^A-GSF conscience ^G4893 ^N-GSF toward ^G1519 ^PREP God ^G2316 ^N-ASM , ) by ^G1223 ^PREP the resurrection ^G386 ^N-GSF of Jesus ^G2424 ^N-GSM Christ ^G5547 ^N-GSM :

22 Who ^G3739 ^R-NSM is gone ^G4198 ^V-AOP-NSM into ^G1519 ^PREP heaven ^G3772 ^N-ASM , and is ^G2076 ^V-PXI-3S on ^G1722 ^PREP the ^G3588 ^T-GSM right hand ^G1188 ^A-DSF of God ^G2316 ^N-GSM ; angels ^G32 ^N-GPM and ^G2532 ^CONJ authorities ^G1849 ^N-GPF and ^G2532 ^CONJ powers ^G1411 ^N-GPF being made subject unto ^G5293 ^V-2APP-GPM him ^G846 ^P-DSM .
